    93 pts, Robert Parker, 2021

The small bunches from each plot were cold pressed separately at 5°C to preserve the freshness, flavour and aromas and to obtain the delicate pale colour. Only the finest, free-run juice was selected, which underwent a 24-hour cold settling at 8 to 10°C without adding sulphur. Fermentation took place with selected yeasts. The wine was matured for six to eight months on the fine lees in new French oak barrels from the Tronçais forest and Jupilles, with bâtonnage adding texture and complexity. The wines were blended on a ‘fruit day’ according to the biodynamic calendar.

This is an exquisite rosé with precise aromas of ripe apricot and peach, delicate floral notes, spice, and hints of mild tobacco. Perfectly balanced with extraordinary aromatic freshness, the creamy texture is stylishly interwoven with minerality to a long, elegant finish.

Winery

The terroir draws its singularity from its geology: schist and limestone soils have combined with the hilly terrain to create a complex subterranean water network that provides an exceptionally natural and pure water supply to nourish the vines. The vineyard’s altitude of 240 metres provides a balance of freshness to the southern/southwestern exposure, which leads to good fruit concentration. Following biodynamic principles, horses and mules strengthen the connection between minerals, plants, animals and humans. Each plot of vines, including old Syrah and Grenache (30 years) and Cinsault (50 years), is manually harvested at optimal maturity. The grapes are picked at sunrise, taking advantage of lower temperatures, thus reducing oxidation. They are immediately transported to the winery, which is in the heart of the vineyard, to retain the high quality of the fruit.
