La Colline de Vignelaure (red) is a rich, full-bodied wine made from Merlot with a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon. It is named after the dry, rocky hillside set at an altitude of 480 metres where the vines grow. Here naturally stressed by heat and stony soil, these vines produce very low yields of small, intensely concentrated grapes. The wine is aged for twenty-four months in new French oak barrels before bottling with no fining and minimum filtration. It can be enjoyed now but will continue to develop for at least ten years. La Colline is classified as a Vin de Pays because Merlot is not a permitted variety in our appellation.
