Presentation

This wine is the result of the rigorous blending of grapes from the best plots in the appellation. Enhanced through careful vinification and maturation, it reveals the potential of each of the selected terroirs. The cuvée was created to offer a tasting experience rich in conviviality, discoveries, and emotions.

Terroir

Nature of the soils: vast alluvial terraces with stony red clay.

In the vineyard

Average age of the vines: 60 years.

Winemaking

The grapes are hand-picked which entails low yields at an advanced stage of maturity. The grapes are destemmed, treaded and each varietal is processed separately. The alcoholic fermentation is temperature-controlled with daily punching down and pumping over to gently extract the full richness from the grapes. The vatting lasts four weeks.

Ageing

The Syrah has been matured for 12 months in 225 liter French oak barrels. 15% of the Grenache has been aged for 12 months in “demi-muids” of one wine (600 liter French oak barrels).

Varietals

Grenache noir : 80%
Syrah : 20%
