The 2018 vintage was crafted using traditional Burgundian practices—hand-harvested grapes undergo careful sorting and gentle extraction. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, followed by aging in French oak barrels, a portion of which are new, to add subtle complexity and structure. The winemaking is precise but respectful, aiming to showcase the pure terroir without overwhelming it with excessive extraction or oak influence.

This bottle captivates with an intense bouquet of ripe red and dark berries, wild herbs, and floral nuances, layered with subtle earthy and spicy hints. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet poised, delivering silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, lingering finish marked by savory minerality and refined depth. It is a wine built for aging but also approachable in its youth, inviting thoughtful sipping and reflection.
