west to north-east, following a curve with its centre in the north-west. The ridge of these three ranges is composed of grey limestone belonging to the Jurassic period.
Presentation
This range reveals other expressions by exploring other terroirs with character in addition to our historic appellations.
These prestigious appellations have been shaped and matured while retaining the hallmarks of our wines: elegance, richness and delicate tannins.
Terroir
The vineyards are planted in a wide variety of situations, but paradoxically most areas have good water conditions. Limestone scree at higher altitudes is the least fertile, marl from clay-based scree provides good drought-resistant conditions, and lower down, deep safres or glacis based on limestone materials are perfectly regulated terroirs.

Tasting
In Gigondas, these grape varieties produce full-bodied, ripe, powerful wines with very distinctive aromatic profiles.
We set out to create a cuvée which, while combining these characteristics, has a profile with a hint of freshness, a balance in which the tannins melt away and give the cuvée great accessibility. A sunny wine whose power is elegantly tamed by the ageing process.
At nose
On the nose, there are notes of grilled hazelnuts and raspberry liqueur.
On the palate
On the palate, notes of almost over-ripe red fruit.
Food pairings
This red wine is the perfect accompaniment to Provençal beef stew, barbecued prime rib or game.
