Description

GRAPE VARIETIES
Mourvèdre, Syrah
This wine is produced from grapes harvested uniquely on the Domaine which is certified organic (ECOCERT) since 1979.

TERROIR
Schist soil, veined with white quartz

VINIFICATION
The harvest takes place when the tannins in the grapes reach optimum maturity. The Syrah ripens first and is harvested slightly over ripe as we wait for the mourvèdre to be ready. After destemming, each variety is macerated separately for about 30 days, then fermented for 20 days in stainless steel vats. Pneumatic pressing is followed by selection and blending.

MATURING
Between 6-8 months, in 300 liters medium toast oak casks from Tronçais and the Vosges. It is then racked and bottled.

TASTING NOTES
One look at this wine intense robe is enough to make you want to find out more… the bouquet is a complex blend of blackberries, liquor ice and Provencal spices. The palate is rich, silky and balanced, with dense, well matured tannins. An elegant wine that may be consumed immediately but will benefit from several years maturing in a good cellar.

FOOD PAIRING
The perfect choice to accompany meats, grilled or in a sauce, and with fine cheeses.
Keeping: 6-8 years
Serve between 14 and 16° C
