As a 7th generation winery, it is managed by the two of them currently the winemaking empire of Faiveley. From 2007, the head winemaker is Jerome Flous.
This wine reveals an attractive deep ruby red hue. The nose exudes aromas of black fruit and spice combined with oaky notes and a touch of spice. The taste offers a powerful structure with direct tannins underpinned by delicate oaky notes. This wine's excellent structure and aromatic persistency give it good potential for bottle age.
