The majority of the production is carried out by hand with as little human intervention as possible. The small vineyard plots are planted with Merlot, and Cabernet Franc predominates where you find sandy topsoil with clay subsoil. They work in harmony here like a quality male and female duet, think Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, not some glorified karaoke singers off the X-Factor! There is a lifted nose delivering vibrancy and freshness and a palate filled with blueberry fruit and cherry compote.
