Sourced from the lower terraced lands of the northern part of Vacqueyras, from the blue and yellow clay on the plateau des Garrigues which was planted in the 1950’s with a density of 10,000 plants per hectare. Also some from a plot in ‘Pendants’ with blue and yellow clay soil which gives richness and depth and a more silky texture to the wine. Using whole bunches the wine goes through a very gentle maceration, which he describes as more like an infusion before maturing for 18 months in large cement tanks. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration.

(raised for 18 months in concrete vats): 
Ruby-red. Lively aromas of fresh red berries, candied flowers and smoky minerals, complemented by a bright, peppery nuance. Juicy and nicely concentrated, offering vibrant raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that become sweeter with air. In a graceful style, with fine-grained, firming tannins sneaking in late on the very long, zesty finish.
