Tasting note
The dress is a beautiful purple red. The nose, spicy, recalls the essence of cedar. The mouth is round and voluptuous, the tannins are fresh and well defined.

Vinification and aging
The different grape varieties are harvested manually and separately, in order to obtain optimal maturity for each, with Syrah generally being the earliest. The vinifications are also adapted to each grape variety, in order to respect their own characteristics and the capacities of the terroirs. Some of the Syrah is vinified in whole bunches, with a vatting period of around 15 days. The Grenache is 100% destemmed and the maceration times are around 3 weeks. The extraction work is carefully adapted to each vat, in order to favour good extraction of varietal aromas, as well as a silky and dense structure. Some of the wine is aged in 225-litre Bordeaux barrels for around 10 months, with casks being placed immediately after pressing.
