Technical Sheet written by the domaine

Cuvée flagship of the domaine, it is also the oldest part, composed of equal parts mourvèdre and syrah, with a touch of grenache, much elegance for this wine that sits between classicism and modernity.

Blend : 45% Syrah, 45% Mourvèdre, 10% Grenache.


Terroir and cultivation method : Poor, stony soils of clay-limestone type. The vines are cultivated biodynamically, under Demeter control, with complete soil plowing and total absence of fertilizer inputs. 

Yield : 28/32 hectoliters/hectare.

Harvest : Manual only in the morning, in perforated crates

Vinification : After passing over the sorting table, transferred to the tank by gravity. No inoculation. Traditional vinification alternating punching down and pumping over. Maceration for 5 weeks. Pneumatic pressing.

Aging : 36 months, including 24 in large French oak casks.
