Vineyard Notes: The vineyards are situated on the massif of the Dentelles de Montmirail and much of the vineyard surface is laid out in terraces to accommodate the steep slope of the hill. The soil is clay and limestone.
Winemaking Note: Harvest and vinification is done parcel-by-parcel and the final blend is done after a long cuvaison designed to obtain the finest and most profound extracts. The wine is bottled unfiltered after eleven months of aging in cement cuves.
Tasting Notes: Garnet with purple glints. An intense and complex nose with fruit brandy (plum, cherry, ...), which slowly gives way to toasted almonds. Then come aromas of garrigue, cassis and peppery notes. A wine with silky tannins that remains soft, fresh and drinkable.
