Tasting notes
When the Grenache is elegant, the fruit, which is usually shaken up by the Mistral wind, is of a rare finesse, as is the case here. The delectable nose of crushed strawberries also contains subtle notes of black fruit
and rose petals… the sunny character is fading. With a rare aromatic complexity. Superb!
Hand-picked at optimum ripeness.
Located at the eastern end of the appellation facing east, ancient alluvium. Rolled quartzite pebbles, sandy red clay on a molasse base.
Vinification in small concrete vats with 30% whole grapes. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts and moderate use of sulphur. Vinification temperature not exceeding 28°C. Maceration for 3 to 4 weeks with very little intervention.
Matured in unlined concrete vats for around 20 months.
