- Charming and opulent with aromas of cherry, violet, blackcurrant jam, ink and plum, leading to a powerful palate beautifully balanced by mineral freshness. Fragrant aromas of cherry, violet, blackcurrant jam, ink, and Mirabelle plum are channelled on the palate through powerful and muscular tannins. This is beautifully balanced by mineral freshness through to a long, opulent finish.

The grapes were carefully sorted in the vineyard to select the ripest fruit. Fermentation occurred with selected yeasts, followed by a long maceration period with pumping over to extract the desired level of flavour, colour and structure-giving tannins. The wine was then matured in French oak for 16 months.

| Winery | The 23-hectare vineyard is located in the Faugeres appellation in the Languedoc and is situated at 180 metres elevation, overlooking the village of Laurens. The Syrah and Mourvedre are double Cordon Royat pruned vines, and the Grenache is pruned according to the traditional gobelet method. The vines are planted in ochre, grey or blue sandstone and schist soils, which are slightly acidic and have a fragile structure. This high-quality but demanding terroir naturally produces low yields of around 25 hectolitres per hectare. The estate is cultivated sustainably and is HVE certified, which officially recognises the environmental performance of winegrowers, including biodiversity conservation, plant protection strategies, managed fertiliser use and water resource management. The grapes are hand-harvested. |
