Terroirs

The Cru will be tender with very characteristic and complex red fruit, peony and peach aromas resulting from short maceration. The best time to enjoy them is within 12 to 15 months, or Powerful, fattier, full-bodied and stamped with kirsch, spice and mignonette aromas. They will reach their peak around 4 to 5 years after the harvest depending on the vintage.
