- Crunchy red and black brambly fruits are complemented by peppery spice and a subtle hint of violet. Juicy and fresh, with a lovely purity of fruit. An aromatic and fruity blend with crunchy red and black brambly fruits complemented by a touch of peppery spice and a subtle hint of violet. Juicy and fresh with a lovely purity of fruit.
The Syrah and Grenache Noir grapes were vinified separately. The fruit underwent 48 hours in cool storage to retain its freshness and purity. Fermentation took place at controlled temperatures with selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wines were deftly blended and matured for 12 months in stainless steel vats. This cuvée was made without the influence of oak to express the pure fruit flavours fully. Clarification took place by cool sedimentation, and the wine was gently filtered before bottling.
This aromatic and fruity blend features crunchy red and black brambly fruits complemented by peppery spice and a subtle hint of violet. It is juicy and fresh, with a lovely purity of fruit.

Winery | The grapes come from the AOP Côtes de Roussillon, where the vineyards are located within a natural amphitheatre open to the Mediterranean Sea and are surrounded by mountain ranges. The climate is Mediterranean, strongly influenced by cooling coastal breezes combined with freshness from the foothills of the Pyrenees, which temper the hot, arid summers. The vines are grown on the Roussillon plains, where the soils are made up of alluvial marls with black schist, which imparts great aromatic complexity to the wines, characterised by notes of black fruits, garrigue and freshness. The vineyard is certified organic, and no herbicides or chemicals are used. Yields are kept low to ensure a good concentration of pure fruit flavours, and the fruit is hand-harvested. |
