Quintessence Rouge

AOC PALETTE

Presentation :

A “micro-cuvée”, 100% barrels, with a good cellaring potential. A rigorous selection of the upper plots of the vineyard. A deep black cherry color with purple hints. The nose is powerful with delicate black fruit aromas and a light touch of floral notes. The mouth-feel is voluptuous, well-balanced, with a good length and silky tannins. The finish is persistent, on toasted aromas.

Vinification
After have been destemed, the grapes are sorted out. Then they are transferred to large oak vats for fermentation. During this process, we practice daily punching of the cap and pumping which allow a slow and efficient extraction of the complex tannins. The wine is then aged in barrels for 18 months.
