- This rich and opulent wine has ripe blackcurrant aromas layered with notes of garrigue and cistus flowers. It is full-bodied but with a soft texture on the palate. This wine retains the estate's characteristic elegance while embracing a modern style of winemaking. Ripe fruits combine with notes of cocoa and cherry and a hint of licorice on the finish.
Following a selection of the best bunches, the grapes were meticulously sorted, destemmed and gently crushed before entering concrete fermentation tanks via gravity. The must underwent maceration for approximately 30 days, during which a gentle extraction took place to obtain velvety tannins. Fermentation occurred with wild yeasts; the wine was vinified with minimal intervention. Approximately 10% of the wine was aged in barrels, demi-muids and foudres for 15 months, imparting subtle complexity, while 90% was matured in concrete vats to retain pure fruit. The wine was
bottled without fining or filtration, just natural settling.

| Winery | This domain has one of the best terroirs in Chateauneuf-du-Pape with its abundance of rounded quartzite stones from the Villafranchian period. These stones absorb heat during the day and then radiate it at night, promoting full grape maturity. Yielding just 30 hectolitres per hectare, the vines are carefully managed throughout the year. The grapes are hand-harvested once each variety has reached full maturity, based on tastings undertaken by an expert panel. The vineyard is farmed sustainably; the domain promotes and develops biodiversity in the vineyard by maintaining a flourishing wine-growing ecosystem and is certified by Terra Vitis. |
