Technical sheet written by the domaine:

Blend: 70% grenache, 30% syrah.

Age of the vines: 50 years

"Notes of roasting reminiscent of mocha. A velvety mouthfeel recalling strawberry jam and licorice. A silky, long, and elegant finish."

TERROIR:

Topography: “The Ancient Terrace of Ouvèze,” a historic land of the Gigondas appellation (120k years).

Soil: Rolled limestone pebbles and sandy-clay matrix. Lands known for their finely crafted Grenaches.

Atmosphere: At the foot of the Village of Gigondas, in the shade of the Dentelles de Montmirail, selection from a single contiguous parcel, exposed to wind and sun.

GRAPE JOURNEY:

Work: Manual harvesting in 15 kg crates. One night in a cold room, manual sorting, destemming, then filling the tanks by gravity.

Vinification: In stainless steel tanks, cold pre-fermentation maceration for 48 hours. Fermentation lasts about 20-25 days with gentle daily pump-overs.

Aging: Grenaches in terracotta amphorae, Syrah in old oak barrels of 450 liters. 18 months.
