ILEX

Our very best Syrah and Petit Verdot make up the blend of ILEX, an eleganT, smooth and structured cuvée with a fresh acidity and velvety tannins.


After a manual harvest and a traditional vinification, the wine is matured during twelve to eighteen months in old barrels in order to make the best of this creative yet elegant blend between these two grape varieties - one originally from the Cévennes and the other from Bordeaux.

Our ILEX cuvée made its entry into La Tulipe Rouge's Languedoc Roussillon Wine Guide  and obtained 1 tulip:

 

« A lush nose where the oak, generous, melts into a mass of candied black fruits and black pepper. The same density emanates from a velvety and warm mouth, nicely stretched on truffle and vanilla.

It is rich, ambitious and successful. »
