The Cuvée Majesté comes from a plot selection of 1.5 hectares. The average age of the vines is 35 years, with a yield of 40hl / ha and a density of 5,000 plants / ha.
After a harvest in green, the vine is manually stripped and the berries are selected on a sorting table. A cold pre-fermentation maceration is carried out for 3-4 days, then alcoholic fermentation begins and a long maceration of more than 30 days in a lightning of 50 hectoliters.
During this period, manual pigeages are carried out in order to extract all the matter contained in the grape skins and to refine the tannins./span>
This wine will finish aging and will age in new barrels for 24 months.
This cuvée reveals an intense and complex nose offering a refined marriage of black fruits, vanilla and chocolate, stimulated by menthol notes. The palate, at once full-bodied, velvety and suave, reveals a woody finish that is gradually fading in front of the fruit.
We advise you to decant the wine at least 1 hour before tasting to reveal the exceptional qualities of this wine. Wine of great care (15 years).
