Terroir
Coming from vines around 50 years old, this red Châteauneuf-du-Pape draws its strength from one of the most emblematic terroirs of the Southern Rhône Valley. The characteristic rolled pebbles, mixed with deep red clays, store daytime heat to release it at night, ensuring perfect grape ripening. This warm and structuring soil gives birth to a solar, powerful, and generous wine, where the richness of old Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah vines is fully expressed.
Winemaking
The winemaking follows a traditional method, with fermentations at controlled temperature to respect the fruit and freshness. The maceration lasts nearly three weeks, allowing for a gentle extraction of the richness of the old Grenaches, Mourvèdres, and Syrahs.
Ageing
The wine is then aged for 36 months in oak vats, to gain in structure and complexity without being marked by the wood.
Varietals
Grenache noir : 70%
