Tasting notes
Nose:
powerful, balancing between black fruits and stewed fruits subtly brought by cocoa aromas.
Palate:
sumptuous balance between the solar strength of the wine and the fineness of its tannins. It has a great persistency with sweetness which develops greedily.
Sommelier's advice: It can work as an aperitive. Blue cheese. chocolate desserts, cakes, dried fruits dessert, caramel, coffee.
Grape variety/varieties:
90% of Grenache. For the rest, other grape varieties.
Harvest:
The crop is hand-harvested when grapes are very ripe.
Soil:
The slopes are situated on schisty soils coming from the Primary Era.
Vinification:
The grapes are destemmed and crushed. The maceration is long with an addition of alcohol to favour the extraction of aromas and tannins.

The wine is aged in vats from 16 to 20 months.
