Anthony's daughter, Lilian, and her two children, now

VINIFICATION
The harvesting is done entirely by hand. After the destemming, the berries are carefully sorted, crushed and poured in wooden vats thermo-regulated, according to their plots. The alcoholic fermentation lasts from 7 to 10 days and the extraction is always respectful of the juice by adjusting the number of pumping depending on the cuvées and the vintages. The maceration is about 3 weeks then the juice is drawn in barrels, lot by lot. The wine is then aged between 16 and 18 months in French oak barrels of which 60% are brand new, in a cellar maintained at 15°. The wines are topped up 3 times a week to avoid any contact between the wine and the air, the racking is traditional using the socalled "à l'esquive" method.

Tasting
This wine is a well-constituted, powerful and generous teenager, with good wood and floral aromas with hints of acacia. The balance is perfect, combining fleshiness and fullness, crowned by long and tasty tannins.
