The grapes were hand-picked between sunrise and 10 am to retain freshness. The Grenache and Mourvèdre came from plots of old vines on the hillsides, which produce low yields of small berries. The Vermentino and Viognier are cultivated on the schist hillsides. The Grenache was co-fermented with the Vermentino and the Viognier. Full bunches of grapes were immediately pressed, and only the free-run juice and the juice from the first press were used. After a cold settling, the fermentation began in vats with natural yeast, followed by a partial fermentation in oak. 80% was matured in
French oak.
Floral notes of violet and hawthorn complement a bouquet of crushed strawberries and sweet spice. Powerful and generous, with a velvety texture and a revitalising freshness, this wine is built on tension and stamped with a brilliant salinity.

Winery | The estate is located northwest of Montpellier, on the terraces of Causse du Larzac at 150 and 350 metres of altitude. The vineyard's orientation, combined with its exceptional terroir, gives it a unique character. The region’s volcanic past moulds the landscape. The soil consists of stones derived from sandstone or schist for the first 30 centimetres and then a layer of clay. Specifically, the soil comprises “Ruffes, " a thin, filtering soil rich in minerals such as bauxite, iron and aluminium, and sandstone with shale, creating a water reserve. The area is influenced by wide temperature ranges, with warm, sunny days and cooler, fresh summer nights influenced by the sea breeze. These diurnal temperature differences are beneficial and encourage slow, progressive berries ripening. |
