The great cuvée of the domaine, a tribute to the founder Joseph who was a zouave. It comes from the oldest vignes of the domaine (70 to 100 years old, undoubtedly the oldest syrahs of the appellation). It is a structured cuvée, very concentrated (but less so than the 2020 and 2022 if you are collecting them), and already impressive in 2024... for at least 5 more years!
