The colour is limpid, slightly golden with green highlights. The nose is fresh, with hints of green fruit (apple, gooseberry), melon, herbs, fresh wood and mint. Viney on the attack, the palate is full-bodied and rich, driven by a lively intensity that tautens and invigorates it. The finish is very long, powerful, tight and intense. By experience, this wine benefits from a long decanting.

Viticulture

This cuvée comes from the Sensine vineyard in Conthey, in the Valais.

Oenology

The grapes were harvested on 19 September with healthy grapes (very little curd) and a sounding of 96°Oe. The grapes are pressed by hand in a vertical press. The must, with little settling, is fermented in a new barrel and a 3rd passage barrel. Alcoholic fermentation is completed during the following summer. Malolactic fermentation took place in the meantime and the wine was aged in wood until the end of July 2022 (almost 22 months of ageing). The 2 barrels are massed in a stainless steel vat for a few more weeks, before bottling without filtration on 8 August 2022.
