GRAPES

70% syrah, 25% grenache, 5% mourvèdre.

SOIL & VITICULTURE

Pebbly terrain. These pebbles are particulary good at radiating the warmth built up during the day back to the vines.

They play a part in getting the grapes perfectly ripe. The exceptional draining capacity of these pebbles also allows any surplus water to quickly drain away during heavy spells of rain, which prevents certain diseases from developing.

The vines are trellised as double cordon; the bunches are spread out and get better aeration and direct sun exposure.

HARVESTS & WINEMAKING

Mechanical and manual harvest. Based on three different Syrahs: optimal ripeness, classic syrah and carbonic maceration.

Carbonic maceration is only used for red wines, as an aroma enhancer. It’s a winemaking technique using intracellular fermentation. The grapes must be hand-picked to remain perfectly intact and not split. They are then placed whole, without stemming and crushing into a vat saturated with carbon dioxide gas. Fermentation takes place inside the grape cells which causes complex changes in their composition.
