Planted in 1990, the vines of Les Eygats grow on windy, east-facing, granite terraces, 300m above sea level. This is a cooler plot, open to winds from the north, giving wines with bright acidity, intense vitality and tension. This is currently ageing in 40% new French barrels, for bottling in June 2022. Opaque purple, this has incredibly vibrant aromas of ripe black berries and violets. Palate is full, with multifaceted, dense flavours, tightly knit in a freshly tannic frame. This is a layered, long-flavoured wine with super balance (for drinking 2024-2034+).
