Presentation
The vines at Quantin grow on deep gravel to produce a red wine with very ripe, smoky aromas. This is very elegant on the palate with solid, well-extracted tannin and an attractive personality in all vintages.
The vintage
2022 was a particularly atypical year due to extreme weather conditions. ln addition to a very early frost in the spring, which affected the vineyard just as the vines were starting to bud, there was a long period of exceptional drought from May until the end of September. The result was low yields and a perfect state of health at harvest time throughout the vineyard.

Tasting
A seductive cherry-red colour with great depth.
Complex, the nose reveals delicious notes of red and black fruit. Blackberry and bilberry intermingle with more woody notes. A hint of vanilla adds a touch of sweetness.
The attack is supple. The mid-palate expresses itself fully with well-coated tannins. The finish is marked by lightly toasted and spicy notes.
