Bush vine Grenache planted in the 60's and 70's, the other varieties being planted in the 80's, in Guyot Double.
As the vineyard faces South-West, the grapes get a maximum of sunshine and an optimal maturity.
A green harvest is made to enhance the quality of these grapes.
The real harvest takes place between the end of September and the beginning of November!
Average production: 36,000 bottles.
Vinification
Maceration and alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel at 28° for 25 days.
Then the wine ages for 12 months in Allier oak barrels (new and 2nd year), except for a small part of the Grenache which is aged in American oak barrels.
Storage potential
This wine will be at its best after some years - from 3 to 5.
To serve
Serve at 18°C in a large glass, after decanting, at least in the first years.
Trial analysis
Very deep colour.
Red fruit and toasty notes, a very Mediterranean style.
Surprisingly fresh and well balanced on the palate, with a long and harmonious finish and fruit tannins.
The best of two worlds: continental freshness and Mediterranean sun.
