VINIFICATION
The grapes are carefully hand-picked and then passed through a sorting table and a destemmer. Part of the harvest is vatted whole, while another part is crushed. Skin-on maceration for over three weeks at 24-28°C (82-84°F). Most of the time, without human intervention (just a few pumping overs). This cuvée is neither filtered nor fined.
Aged for nine months in new French oak barrels.
TASTING NOTES
This cuvée has a reddish-purple color and a very fruity nose, offering notes of ripe and candied fruit. The powerful aromas of the Syrah lend a lovely length on the palate while integrating balanced woody notes.
This is a wine for aging that will need to spend a few years in your cellar to develop its full potential.

Clos Dière Barrique will be equally enjoyed with roast venison with cranberries or with tournedos Rossini.
