L'Abri
This exceptional cuvée of Merlot is produced through vinification integral with 100% new oak. A cold pre-fermentation maceration followed by a gentle extraction amplifies the bouquet of the wine over time and obtains a generous body with deep tannins. The texture is silky and the finish is long with roasted and vanilla notes. It delivers charm and presence. Only 1200 bottles were produced.
