  • A well-textured, ripe, and full-bodied wine delivering rich black fruits, mocha expresso, and a subtle hint of smoke. Smooth on the palate with integrated tannins and a lingering finish, this is a traditional and elegant Chateauneuf.

The grapes were hand-harvested into 25-kg crates to protect the quality of the fruit, followed by a second selection and manually sorting, before being crushed and partially destemmed. The fruit was transferred to the concrete fermentation vats via gravity. A long maceration took place with gentle extraction techniques, to obtain opulent fruit characteristics and fine, velvety tannins. Approximately 65% of this wine was aged in oak barrels and demi-muids for 20 months, with the remainder matured in concrete vats. The wine was bottled without fining or filtration.

A beautifully textured, ripe and full-bodied wine delivering rich red and black fruits, chocolate and a subtle hint of spice. Supple and elegant with a layered mouthfeel, notes of Morello cherry and a hint of chocolate on the velvety finish.

Winery

The Grenache comes from best parcels of old vines planted on the high Quaternary alluvial terraces surrounding the estate. This Domaine has one of the best terroirs in Chateauneuf-du-Pape with its abundance of rounded quartzite stones, known as "Galet Roules" terroir, which comes from the Villafranchian period. These stones absorb heat during the day then radiate it at night, promoting full grape maturity and imparting great tannic and aromatic power. The grapes are manually harvested, once each variety has reached phenological ripeness, based on grape tastings by an
expert panel. The grape bunches are then meticulously sorted to ensure only the best quality fruit was vinified.
