"Les Pépiux" is the name of a stream that once surrounded the vineyard, but has now dried up. The soils are a varied mix of marl, clay-limestone and white sandstone. The Carignan is pruned using the Gobelis method, the Syrah using the double Guyot method. The vines are thinned and destemmed in spring, then the leaves are thinned out in summer and the grapes are harvested by hand. Grape sorting on the vine. Yields are 30hL/ha.

Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
"Power and aromatic complexity, great purity of fruit, violets, wisteria, incense and garrigue, a tight, ripe structure, great freshness and a long, balanced finish. A lively cuvée full of charm."
