Calcium carbonate serves as the common thread running through these vineyards, imparting remarkable texture, structure, and a chalky mineral core to the wine. Fermented at 26°C with indigenous yeasts and gentle pigeage for balanced extraction, 75% of the wine aged for 18 months in untoasted 3,500-liter French oak foudres, while the remaining 25% matured in epoxy-free concrete vats, followed by 12 months of bottle aging.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" dir=\"\"\u003e\"Displaying an intense red color with deep burgundy hues, the nose reveals exceptional finesse with notes of cassis, orange peel, fresh plum, chestnut, carob bark, eucalyptus, white pepper, laurel, and white roses.
