- This Rhone blend is characterized by its spicy notes, complemented by exuberant ripe red fruit flavours. The wine is well-structured with rounded tannins, contributing to a lovely balance. Overall, it is a delicious and approachable blend with an elegant finish. Delicious and inviting Rhône style shows warm, juicy, spicy black plum flavours with herbal echoes of the South of France garrigue.
The grapes were 100% destemmed and crushed before being pressed. Maceration and fermentation took place in temperature-controlled tanks. Vinification lasted between 20 and 30 days, with rack and returns and punching down of the cap, extracting phenolic compounds and resulting in more fruit-forward characteristics. The cuvees were aged in vats to preserve the freshness and purity of the fruit.
Spicy, with exuberant ripe red fruit framed by a good structure, rounded tannins, and a lovely balance, this is a delicious and approachable Rhône blend with an elegant finish.

Winery | The vines are grown in two plots located east and west of the Rhone (hence the name) and impart the complexity of the different Rhone terroirs. The complementary qualities of these two terroirs allow the 35-year-old Grenache vines to reveal all their potential: elegance and finesse come from the small yields of 35 hectolitres per hectare and clay-limestone subsoil of the Saint Genies de Comolas terroir in the Gard, while the round pebbles and clay subsoil of the Travaillan in the Vaucluse impart structure and power to the blend. |
