The wine region of Yunnan
Extreme-altitude vineyard of Yunnan, China (2,200–2,600 m, Shangri-La), heritage from French missionaries (19th c. ). Cabernet Sauvignon is the signature red — elegant with blackcurrant, black cherry, blackberry, spices and fresh floral-altitude touch, fine tannins. Rose Honey survivor post-phylloxera.
The word of the wine: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
