Château Haut L’Abeille Cuvée Excellence

Vinification by plot, sorting of the berries, alcoholic fermentation at 28°C followed by a 3-week vatting and malolactic fermentation in temperature-controlled concrete vats. Aged 12 months in French oak barrels (1/2 new and 1/2 used for one wine). Production per year: 8000 bottles. Tasting notes: bright deep ruby color, intense aromas of ripe black fruits with nice toasted and finely vanilla notes, full in the mouth with round tannins and a nice balance.
