Wine Facts
Winemaker Notes
Pressing, juice racking, temperature control during the entire process. This Domaine wine underwent malolactic fermentation and is partially aged in 40% French oak for between six and eight months.
Interesting Facts
Southeast-facing vines over 20 years old. After a careful selection of grapes from small parcels in the region, they are gently pressed and undergo temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats. 10% of the wine is aged in new French oak barrels for 8 months; the rest sees frequent racking before being blended together and bottled.
Serving Hints
This wine is best served with appetizers, lobster salad, grilled halibut, chicken with mushroom cream sauce, and cheese.
