Terroir
The vines are located on steep slopes on three different types of soils:
- Calcareous brown soil;
- Skeletal soil on marl;
- Red soil and sandstone.
Age of the vines: 40-60 years
Exposure: South, partly protected from the Mistral.
Altitude: 250 meters
Vinification
100% hand harvest into small baskets.
The grapes are thoroughly sorted on a sorting table and fully destemmed. The grapes are blended, then they macerate at low temperatures before alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel vats. The wine then ages in cement and stainless steel vats.
Visits
Colour: Deep garnet with a purple rim.
Nose: Some elegant black and red fruit and violet flower, liquorice, which evolve with a bit of bottle ageing towards aromas of prune, dates and leather.
Palate: Juicy, generous with some tight and elegant tannins. With time, the wine will develop complex flavours of cherry clafoutis and kirsch.
To serve
Best served slightly chilled, around 15-16°C.
Aging potential
Perfect to drink now, but can keep 5 to 7 years.
