Appellation AOP Côtes du Rhône :  As far back as the middle ages, this vineyard on the banks of the Rhône was known for the quality of its wines. The diversity of the soil coupled with the appellation’s Mediterranean climate enables the grapes to express their full personality. Thus, Grenache Noir, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan thrive on the clay plateaus with their large pebbles, where their strength is developed in well-structured red wines.

Climate : Mediterranean influences with 2,700 hours of sun per year.

Grape varieties : Grenache, Carignan, Mourvèdre

Alcohol content : 15%

Soil :  Classic limestone plateaus covered with a layer of red clay and pebbles. The terroir is free-draining, and produces powerful wines with well-structured tannins and good ageing potential.

Harvest : 100% harvested and sorted by hand. The grapes are hand-harvested to the optimal maturity using small cases to avoid crushing.

Vinification : The grapes are destemmed and fermented in inox vats. 30 days of maceration with temperature control. The alcoholic fermentation temperature is controlled at around 25°C to preserve as much varietal aroma as possible. Gentle pumping over operations are carried out on a daily basis to delicately extract aromatic substances, colouring matter and tannins.

Ageing : French oak barrels
