Private Collection
Every year, a friend is invited to choose the five best barrels of the previous vintage.
Tasting Notes
This Private Collection 2012 was blended by Romain Bocchio, a winemaker and producer in Bordeaux.
This wine is an intense red color. There are hints of wild berries and balsamic. It’s incredibly fresh with an excellent structure and balance.
Winemaking
The grapes used in this wine were harvested by hand at different states of ripeness. After destemming, the grapes underwent a very cold soak, followed by maceration over 48 hours before fermentation. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel vats at controlled temperatures and with mechanic punching down. Once the fermentation process was over, the wine was in contact with the skins for one week. The wine was finally aged for 24 months in new and used French barrels.
