Description
Baronesa P. is a selection of the finest micro-terroirs, selected over a period of several years based on experience and understanding of these soils and vineyards. Over many years and after producing countless batches, they refined their selection to create this cuvée in honor of Baroness Philippine de Rothschild.
Tasting notes
The color is deep ruby-red with intense violet highlights. The nose is very rich, generous complex, laden with a vast array of aromas. Notes of graphite and extremely intense fruit such as blackcurrant and morello cherry mingle with black fruit aromas of plums, black cherries, blueberries and blackberries, underpinned by floral notes of lavender and rosemary. Juicy, fine and elegant on the palate with complexity, depth, good volume and structure yet well-polished, fresh and mineral with silky, fine tannins. Notes of cedar and cigar box come to the fore, culminating in a long aftertaste and well-balanced acidity. The combination of superbly balanced power and elegance suggests wonderful aging potential.
Terroir
The estates vineyards are grown in a Mediterranean climate greatly influenced by the cold air that comes down from the Andes Mountains at night, cooling the valley all year round, but especially during the summer months. This means the day and nighttime temperatures vary significantly, a highly favorable characteristic for the maturation of world class grapes.
Harvest
From March 18 to April 30.
Aging
15 months in French oak, 55% new barrels and 45% previously used for one vintage.
