Vineyard: Red clay covered in small stones on an ancient river terrace in the Signargues (Cotes-du-Rhone-Villages) AOC
Grapes: 60% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre, 5% Carignan
Making of: Hand harvested. The wine undergoes a delicate 3-week maceration and is then stored in enamel-lined tanks for 10 months before it is bottled without fining or filtration.
Tasting Note: Nearly black in the glass with a deep purple rim. Scents of black plum, cured green and black olives, orange pulp and smoky bramble dominate the nose. The palate is a deep and luxurious expression of ripe black and red fruit flavors followed by dried meat tones and sweet herbs. This powerful blend is boosted by supple acidity and the wine finishes with subtle tannins. Works beautifully with leg of lamb, grilled venison, wild boar sausages, roasts.
