This blend comes from hillside vines with an average altitude of 250 metres, grown on loess/limestone soils, and holding both south and east expositions. A blend of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan, as well as some Marselan (from some old vines of a rarely seen hybrid that Olivier Klein likes for the acidity it brings to the blend), this is perhaps the spiciest of the Réméjeanne wines we ship. The grapes are sorted and mostly destemmed before a natural ferment in concrete tank. The Carignan grapes are however fermented carbonic style. There is no sulphur used during the vinification, and the wine then spends a year in tank prior to bottling (unfined).
Named after the honeysuckle tree, it’s a supple and airy southern Rhône with notes of mulberry, anise and spice box, sinewy tannins—typical of the limestone-rich soils of Sabran—and a long, vibrantly perfumed finish. A twist of smoky, inky fruit on the bright, succulent close only adds to the appeal. It offers terrific class and bang for the money.
