Following a selection of the best bunches; the grapes were meticulously sorted, destemmed and gently crushed, before entering concrete fermentation tanks via gravity. The must underwent maceration, during which a gentle extraction took place to obtain velvety tannins. Fermentation took place with wild yeasts and the wine was vinified with minimal intervention. 10% of the wine was aged in French oak barrels of first use for 15 months, imparting subtle complexity. The remaining 90% was matured in concrete tanks, to retain the purity of fruit and the character of the terroir.
Rich, smooth and flavoursome with complex layers of black-berried fruit, brambly notes, a touch of the local wild garrigue and gentle spice. Elegant yet sumptuous.

| Winery | This Domaine stretches from the high terraces of the ‘La Crau’ and descends into the Solitude Valley. The estate covers a patchwork of soils, from sandy soil known as ‘Safres’, which offer good drainage, to clay and pebble. The vineyard has an abundance of rounded quartzite stones, known as "Galet Roules", which derive from the Villafranchian period. These stones absorb heat during the day and then radiate it at night, promoting full grape maturity. The climate is characterized by the Provencal sun, with warm, dry summers and the Mistral winds, that bring cleansing breezes through the vineyards. The vines are sustainably cultivated and the grapes are manually harvested, once each variety has reached phenological ripeness. |
