Deeply coloured and structured reds with a dense purple colour, firm and solid tannins, a powerful palate with preserved acidity, and signature aromas of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant), spices and garrigue notes. Rare profile, close to classic Tannat. A rare felty-leafed (meunier) variation of Tannat, now marginal, preserved in South-West varietal collections for its heritage value and studied for its genetic interest.

The word of the wine: Oenologist
Specialist in wine-making techniques. It is a profession and not a passion: one can be an oenophile without being an oenologist (and the opposite too!). Formerly attached to the Faculty of Pharmacy, oenology studies have become independent and have their own university course. Learning to make wine requires a good chemical background but also, increasingly, a good knowledge of the plant. Some oenologists work in laboratories (analysis). Others, the consulting oenologists, work directly in the properties.
