Our oenologists' opinion
Fruity and well-rounded
The nose is open and rich, offering aromas of roasted plums and wild blackberries, with a touch of grenadine and a floral hint of cherry.
The attack is velvety and satiny, with long, elegant tannins that are full of finesse.
The character is asserted on the red fruit coulis, accompanied by notes of black pepper and a light touch of liquorice stick.
The finish is fruity, full-bodied and delicious, with a hint of iodine adding complexity.
The finish is fruity, full-bodied and greedy, with a hint of iodine that adds complexity.
The wine has a pleasant persistence and can be enjoyed now, but still has good ageing potential.

Features
Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.
Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.
Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.
Tannins ? Coming from stems, grape pips and their storage barrels, the tannin gives structure to red wines only.

DOMAINE DES ROCHES NEUVES
The vines exposed to the full south benefit from warming up earlier than others, allowing them to achieve a beautiful maturity. This cuvée can only be created in great vintages, requiring a perfect balance.
Natural grass cover is used, and the soil work includes plowing and hilltopping to improve aeration.
Manual harvesting is followed by a sorting table at the reception at the winery.
Fermentation takes place in wooden vats, with very light pumping over just to moisten the cap, followed by a maceration of 18 to 22 days depending on the vintage.
Malolactic fermentation occurs in 100 hl wooden vats from Stoeckinger. The wine is then aged for 12 months in 228-liter barrels and round casks from Stoeckinger.
