Vintage Notes
Exceptional vintage; smoothness, maturity, volume on the palate, fluidity in a hyper-concentration. La Ferme du Mont have centred on the keeping of it burgundy spirit in the winemaking to restitute in the final the airy touch needed by this historic vintage to delight the connoisseurs.
Winemaking
Vinified at the estate, our wine comes from grapes manually harvested, de-stemmed and put into tanks with light sulphur doses. Our fermentations on the skin (3 to 5 weeks) are made at a temperature of 22 / 23°C with
soft extractions and a regular work of the lees. After a pneumatic pressure, blending of free run wine and press wine. Maturing 18 months, for a small part in oak barrel and the other part is traditionally matured in a tank.
Tasting Notes
Dark red color with blue reflection. Powerful nose of spices (pepper, laurel), ripe red fruits and unusual scents. The mouth is strong but also elegant and rich due to a balance alcohol/acidity very interesting showing the good combination of the 2 soils. Finale with aromas of fruits, spices and tobacco notes at the end.
