Born from old vines rooted in schist soils and nurtured in delicate clay, Cuvée Victoire releases a vibrant energy, remarkable depth, and striking definition. The amphora’s ellipsoidal shape allows for continuous natural movement of the wine during ageing, ensuring even micro-oxygenation thanks to optimised distances between the vessel’s core and its walls. The Cabernet Franc thus reveals itself in pure, juicy form — precise and beautifully expressive.

The colour is a deep ruby red. The fresh nose reveals an elegant balance of fruity, floral, and mineral notes. The palate is full and generous from the very first sip, with a juicy core and supple texture. The amphorae bring harmony and a unique dimension to the already silky tannins.

Vendanges, vinification et élevage L’ASPECT TECHNIQUEVendanges, vinification et élevage : L’ASPECT TECHNIQUE
The Cabernet Franc grapes are harvested at full ripeness in early October. In the cellar, the same philosophy as in the vineyard applies — with the utmost precision and care. Maceration is carried out through gentle, slow infusions during the fermentation phase, lasting a minimum of 18 days. After two rackings, the wine is transferred to amphorae, where it refines for 12 months.
