Product notes

This wine comes from three exceptional terroirs: Nalys (33%) with red sandstone soils from Comtat and saffres, Bois Sénéchal (33%) and La Crau (34%) with ancient stony alluvial soils from the Rhône, the famous rolled pebbles.

Production notes

Manual harvest and sorting of the grapes. Vinification in temperature-controlled vats at around 28 to 30 ° C. The vatting lasts about four weeks. Aging for 18 months in stainless steel vats and tuns (10%).

Tasting notes

Ruby red color, brilliant and deep. Elegant and open nose with notes of red fruits. Ample and supple tannins keeping a nice hold. Rich wine, balanced between richness and freshness. Ideal pairing with an assortment of cold meats, grilled red meats or in a sauce such as navarin, lamb, matured cheese platter.
