Technical sheet written by the domaine:

This is the Côtes du Rhône from the domaine, planted on a clay-limestone plateau between Cornas and St Joseph, this site (sector of the Arlettes) is unlike either. A unique terroir directed by Matthieu Barret towards freshness and finesse. Aging in Diamente concrete tanks shaped like ovals.
