The tradition cuvée is a blend of eighty percent Merlot, ten percent Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The wine is aged for twelve months in French oak barrels from the Allier medium toast which have already been vinified for a year. This aging will allow micro-oxygenation which will make the wine more complex and round off the aromas without distorting the fruit with an overly present woody note. The tannins added by the wood will make it a long-keeping wine, which can be kept for fifteen years without problem in the right temperature and humidity conditions. At the tasting one will find opulent fruity notes, on red fruits such as raspberry and cherry and black fruits such as blackcurrant. This wine will go wonderfully with simple dishes such as roast chicken or red meat, but it will also be the ideal companion for more elaborate dishes such as tournedos Rossini or beef Wellington.
