Appellation
Côtes du Rhône Villages
Blend
50% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre, 15% Carignan
Soil
Southern exposure protecting the terrace from wind; the soils are a mixture of
limestone and clay. High presence of stones and rocks in the soil.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested at optimal maturity, fully de-stemmed and crushed. Cold
soak maceration (10-12°C / 50-54 °F) for 8 to 12 hours to extract color and tannins.
The must macerates for 28 to 30 days. Color and tannins are extracted with daily
pump-overs and several “rack-and-returns”. The free run wine and press wine are
separated until final blend. Aging in French Oak barrels for 9 months, use of neutral
barrels to avoid strong oak aromas and preserve great aromatic balance.
Tasting Notes
This wine has a dark red color with purple hues. On the nose it is powerful, yet
delicate, with intense aromas of red and black fruits and spices. A delicate wooded
overtone appears. The taste is supple and powerful, here we find the initial aromas.
The tannins bring a remarkable fullness and insure the longevity of the wine.
Food Pairing
Let it breathe for half an hour before serving. It will be perfect with game stews or
roasted game. This wine can age for 10 years but is also ready to enjoy today
