Terroir
The grapes come from a variety of terroirs, with 50% from galets roulés, which bring structure and power to the wine, and 50% from sables, which contribute to its complexity, finesse and elegance. The galets roulés from the Chapoin, Coudoulet and Janasse plots provide the necessary structure, while the Bédines and Saumades sands offer a more delicate, refined dimension.
Grape varieties
98% Grenache, 2% Syrah and Mourvèdre
Winemaking
The grapes were harvested at optimum ripeness, late in the season, to guarantee concentrated, well-balanced aromas. Traditional vinification was followed, with temperature control to extract the finest aromas and richness from the grapes.
Ageing
The cuvée is aged in French oak demi-muids for 12 months, representing 2/3 of the ageing, giving the wine a subtle woody structure. The remaining 1/3 is aged in stainless steel tanks, preserving the freshness and purity of the fruity aromas. This dual approach creates an elegant, complex and harmonious wine.
Tasting notes
The wine’s color is a deep red with ruby highlights. The nose is complex, with aromas of ripe black fruit, garrigue and light notes of cocoa and wood. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with fine tannins and good length. The balance between power and finesse continues throughout the tasting.
Tasting advices
This cuvée can be enjoyed now or cellared for 5-10 years to further develop its aromas and complexity. Serve at 16°-18°C.
Food pairings
This cuvée lends itself magnificently to roasted meats, such as leg of lamb or grilled entrecôte, as well as dishes in sauce, such as beef stew or chicken with Provence herbs. It also goes well with aged cheeses such as Comté or Cantal, and Mediterranean dishes such as ratatouille or marinated meat brochettes.
