Cotations
Dégustation
Oeil :
Garnet-red.
Nez :
Beautiful ripeness with hints of eucalyptus, a touch of menthol, graphite, and dark fruits.
Bouche :
Velvety attack with notes of dark fruits and sandalwood, complemented by refreshing hints of noble vegetal nuances. The finish is long and complex.
Les conseils du Sommelier :
Beef, game All cheeses
Le Pavillon, characterised by graphite, is still showing restraint, behind which one can sense its immense potential power. It is still early days, but the tannins are already very fine grained, silky and of extreme density.

Cépage(s) :
Syrah. The age of the vines (90-100 years) guarantees a very high quality production.
Vendanges :
Grapes are hand-harvested to the limit of over-maturity. Due to their age, these vines give low yields.
Sol :
This plot has an area of approximatively 4 ha. It has given its name to this plot selection and has a particular geology. This soil is made up with sediments on a fine layer being on a granitic subsoil.
Vinification :
Totally destemmed, the grapes ferment in concrete tanks. From one to two daily treadings ensure a good extraction. The temperature of fermentation does not exceed 32°C. Maceration lasts between 4 and 5 weeks, to obtain a polymerization of tannins. Only the free-run wine is used for this single vineyard.
Elevage :
The wine is matured in oak casks (with a 30% average proportion of new ones) between 18 and 20 months. The clarification is natural.
Degré d’alcool :
14
