Product notes

LIMITED SERIES: Unique signature wines, from an exceptional terroir in limited quantities. This cuvée reveals all the singularity of this appellation which is a real gem of the Languedoc; complexity, elegance and greed all completed with an incredible freshness.

Production notes

Traditional maceration and carbonic maceration (Carignan). Juice is pressed in carbonic vinification to gain concentration. Traditional vinification for Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre grapes. Maceration of about 3 weeks. Malolactic fermentation in tanks, racking and entonnage.

Tasting notes

Frank and expressive, the nose offers a very complex aromatic combining freshness, floral notes (iris and violet) and spicy (pepper, thyme and cocoa). Palate: The attack is frank, round and definitely greedy with very fine and silky tannins. A full mid-palate opening on an elegant finale, balanced with a beautiful persistence.
