Wine growing / wine making

This wine comes from vines grown on the terraces of the Rhone with a mix of different terroir, including the famous pebbly soil. Maximum yield of 50 hl/hectare. After a parcel selection of the vineyard, the grapes are harvested when perfectly ripe and then destemmed. Long maceration in stainless steel vats under temperature control (for 1 month approximately) for careful extraction of colour and structure.

Tasting notes

Dark cherry & spice-infused aromas. Lovely rounded red fruit richness on the palate with a touch of garrigue character. Structured and impeccably balanced, it seamlessly marries tannins and alcohol.

Food pairing

Venison, wild boar, duck, red peppers and tomatoes stuffed with garlic, rosemary, thyme and rice, lamb with anchovies, rosemary and garlic.
