The estate is known for its commitment to producing wines that are faithful expressions of their terroir, with a particular focus on the Merlot and Cabernet Franc grape varieties.

In the mouth, the wine is generous and layered, with a well-integrated tannic structure that supports a long aromatic persistence. The balance between lively acidity and fruit density ensures the wine remains fresh and inviting, with a long, satisfying finish.
