Producer Tasting Notes

The estates flagship cuvée, always at the top of international rankings. The robe is dark with purple reflections. On the nose, the still discreet aromas of crushed black fruits and garrigue are just waiting to melt into a noble and fresh substance, to reveal finesse and elegance on the palate.


Vineyard Notes

This cuvée comes from four parcels located on different terroirs which complement each other in the blend (rolled pebbles which bring fatness and power; sands for freshness and acidity; red clay covered with rolled pebbles which brings structure and body; and finally a sandy-limestone hillside which gives finesse). The vines are grown without pesticides or insecticides and the manure is natural. The land is worked without weedkiller to maintain ventilation and flexibility of the soil.


Winemaking

Manual harvest with sorting in the vineyard. 80% destemming then maceration for 28 days with daily manual pressing.


Ageing

3/4 in casks and 1/4 in demi-muids (600 litres), for 12 months.
