Age of vines – Yields Old vines carefully selected on the place called "St Pierre", the Cuvée Saint Pierre is very complex and of a rare finesse. We favor quality, that’s why we do not exceed 25 HL/ha to produce this wine and select the most beautiful berries. Vinification and Ageing Harvested by hand, the Cuvée Saint Pierre comes from old vines located on the hillsides. Fermentation is done in traditional vats with daily pumping over to extract as much color as possible. Then, after pressing the marc, the wine is integrated into barrels to carry out its malolactic fermentation. It then enters a 12-months ageing period in barrels that have already matured a wine in order to have subtle woody notes bringing body and complexity. Ageing potential Up to 10 years

Food Combination: Rib of beef grilled with fleur de sel, blueveined cheeses.
