Sommelier's advice:
According to the vintage, the wine can be kept from 30 to 60 years, indeed from 50 to 75 years.
Grape variety/varieties:
Syrah. The age of the vines (65 years on average) guarantees a very high quality production.
Harvest:
Grapes are hand-harvested to the limit of over-maturity. Due to their age, these vines give low yields.
Soil:
This plot has an area of approximatively 4 ha. It has given its name to this plot selection and has a particular geology. This soil is made up with sediments on a fine layer being on a granitic subsoil.
Vinification:
Totally destemmed, the grapes ferment in concrete tanks. From one to two daily treadings ensure a good extraction. The temperature of fermentation does not exceed 32°C. Maceration lasts between 4 and 5 weeks, to obtain a polymerization of tannins. Only the free-run wine is used for this single vineyard.
Ageing:
The wine is matured in oak casks (with a 30% average proportion of new ones) between 18 and 20 months. The clarification is natural.
