70% Grenache, 20% Syrah (Petite Serine) and 10% Cinsault planted in 1975. This comes solely from the Grand Montmirail vineyard located high on the Dentelles de Montmirail where the soils are predominantly limestone marl and the temperature is about 1 degree cooler every 100 metres above the village with his vineyard ranging from 400 up to 520 metres.
Grapes are 100% de-stemmed and crushed with a gentle infusion to avoid high extract and any course elements. Aged solely in concrete tanks to reveal the purity and tension and elegance of Grenache grown on limestone at altitude at cooler temperature.
“Ruby-red. The intensely perfumed nose evokes ripe red and dark berries, potpourri and white pepper, backed by a hint of musky herbs. Juicy and supple on the palate, offering sappy black raspberry and cherry liqueur flavors that fan out nicely on the back half. Shows very good clarity and lift on the floral-driven, gently tannic finish, which leaves a sweet dark berry note behind. There's no shortage of fruit here.”
