- Spicy with exuberant ripe red fruit framed by a good structure, rounded tannins, and a lovely balance. A delicious and approachable Rhone blend with an elegant finish.
The grapes were 100% destemmed and crushed prior to being pressed. Maceration and fermentation took place in temperature controlled tanks. Vinification lasted between 20 and 30 days, with rack and returns and punching down of the cap, extracting phenolic compounds and resulting in more fruit-forward characteristics. The cuvees were aged in vats to preserve the freshness and purity of fruit.

Winery | The vines are grown in two plots located to the east and west of the Rhone (hence the name) and impart the complexity of the different Rhone terroirs. The complementary qualities from these two terroirs allow the 35-year-old Grenache vines to reveal all their potential: elegance and finesse come from the small yields of 35 hectolitres per hectare and clay-limestone subsoil of the Saint Genies de Comolas terroir in the Gard, while the round pebbles and clay subsoil of the Travaillan in the Vaucluse impart structure and power to the blend. |
