LOCATION : This wine comes from directly west-facing
parcels located on the plain of Vacqueyras.
VINEYARDS AND TERROIR :
The Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre vines are 35
years on average and planted on good draining alluvial
and sandy soils.
GRAPE VARIETIES : Grenache noir (50 %) Syrah (40 %)
Mourvèdre (10 %)
PRODUCTION :
The grapes are entirely de-stemmed and placed in temperature-controlled vats for around 24 days with two
rack-and-return operations at the start of fermentation,
followed by two pumping-over operations per day. 60 %
of the wine is aged in vat, and 40 % in 450L barrels
previously used for 1 or 2 vintages, for a period
of 12 months, before being blended with the vat-aged
wine.
TASTING NOTES :
Great finesse on the nose, which releases a mixture
of red fruit, fig and soft spicy notes.
On the palate, the wine shows great elegance
and a lovely weave of red fruit and very fine tannins.
SERVING AND FOOD PAIRING :
Serve at 17-18 °C to allow the wine to express its full
complexity. Decanting is not necessary and the wine
expresses itself in the glass immediately after opening.
Ideal with a rib of beef, or paired with an entrecôte steak
with herb butter.
