Vinification

Work in the vineyard, the grape harvest, and the winemaking and bottling are all carefully controlled by our team of oenologists, be it in our own vineyards and high technology winery at Domainede La Motte, or on the selected properties that we have chosen as our partners.

The grapes are harvested at full maturity in order to obtain optimum mellowness and concentration. Fermentation with daily pumping over and skin contact and a period of maturation in
vats preserve all the fruit aromas and vitality of the wine.

A beautiful deep red colour with a hint of blue. The nose is powerful with notes of black fruit and spices with a dash of vanilla and cloves. At the start, the mouth is rich and velvety. The intense concentration is carefully balanced by the freshness and the delicacy of the tannins.

Enjoy this Cabernet Sauvignon as an aperitive, with duck and olives or with a lamb curry.
