The cuvée name, 'An Elegant Wine Made from Stone,' tells it all. Like other Syrahs from Cornas, it has a strict and mineral taste, yet also has a complex elegance.
Owning & Enjoying

Tasting notes
Dark in color. The aroma of blackberry and smoked bacon is blended with complex spice accents. The medium to full-bodied taste has a smooth texture with ripe fruit. The tannins are also moderately rounded.

Pairing
Steak with black pepper sauce, beef or lamb stew, venison, and hard cheeses.

Production

The grapes are destemmed but not crushed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats for three weeks. Malolactic fermentation occurs in 500-liter demi-muids. The wine is aged for 18 months in demi-muids, with 35% being new barrels.
