- An opulent wine with a depth of concentrated black fruit. The tannins are present but enjoyable as they are polished and integrated. Black fruits on the nose are echoed on the palate with a touch of liquorice and spice through to a long, silky finish.
Classical vinification techniques were used. The grapes were carefully sorted and destemmed before undergoing a pre-fermentation maceration. A long, slow fermentation took place in vats with wild yeasts lasting for 25 days, encouraging the extraction of colour, flavour and structure. The wine was made unoaked, spending two years in concrete tanks to express the terroir fully.

| Winery | A family-owned estate considered among the top three producers in Rasteau in the southern Rhône. Owner and winemaker Robert Laurent produces a handful of stunning wines from old vine Grenache, Mourvèdre and Carignan from his 40 hectares of vineyards. Certified by Agrocert, the vineyards are cultivated sustainably, with the utmost respect for the environment and without using chemicals. Beautifully handcrafted, these opulent wines impeccably showcase the terroir of Rasteau. The vineyard is situated in the Rasteau appellation on hillside slopes, which offer good drainage and sun exposure. The soil layers are complex due to its various origins. Brown clay, which comprises sediment from the Alps and grey clay, which is made up of sediment from algae, overlap here at the root level, imparting extra complexity to the wine. The sunny weather and strong northern Mistral wind keep the vines dry and healthy. The vines have an average age of 70 and are cultivated according to sustainable methods. The vineyard is certified by AGROCERT, and the grapes are manually harvested. |
