Note:
Syrah 50%, Grenache 30%, Carignan 20%. Selection of old Grenache and Carignan vines from 40 to 80 years old, young Syrah vines (less than 25 years old). Dominant clay-limestone soils. Harvest date decided with a view to obtaining maximum fruit while respecting the acid balance. Manual harvest.
Low temperature pre-fermentation maceration in 128 hl stainless steel vats with daily pumping over. Maceration for 15 to 21 days with gentle extraction and temperature control. Total malolactic fermentation. Aging in vats, on fine lees, 8 months, minimal SO2 during aging and at bottling.
A medium-bodied wine with deliberately controlled concentration for maximum drinkability: explosive fruit, delicate tannins, silky mouthfeel... Delicious from the moment it is bottled, it will improve for two to three years.
