A blend of about 80% Cabernet Franc (45 to 55 years old) and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon (70 years old), from biodynamic vineyards on clay-loam soils. Harvested by hand using crates, with careful sorting, and yields of 35-40 hl/ha. Vinification: 100% destemmed grapes macerate for about 30 days, without excessive extraction, followed by gentle pressing.
