Part of the Thienpont family portfolio, the vineyards span clay and fossil-rich limestone soils that bring roundness and a distinctive saline freshness. The result is a wine balancing ripe fruit with chalky precision, offering energy and approachability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eVARIETAL COMPOSITION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e75% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWINEMAKING\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe wine was vinified in temperature-controlled concrete vats to preserve freshness and precision, then matured in French oak barrels (22% new, 39% one-year-old, and 39% two-year-old) before bottling at 14.5%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTASTING NOTE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eExpressive notes of autumn fruit, camphor, forest leaves and a touch of mint.
