Using old vines of Carignan, Grenache, and Syrah, this wine is very appealing, mature, and well-balanced. It is impossible not to feel the generosity and richness of the fruit.

Owning & Enjoying

Tasting notes
Aromas of ripe blueberries, spices, and herbs such as sage and thyme. It is bursting with the juiciness of fruit, with hints of smokiness and a gravelly nuance filled with small stones. The wine is rich in strong mineral characteristics reminiscent of flint from the schist soils, with a slight spiciness and subtle mineral notes. It is also rich in glycerin, offering creaminess and softness while maintaining a beautiful vibrancy and an indescribable freshness. The flavor lingers with a combination of saltiness and fruitiness.

Pairing
Duck or lamb confit, lamb tajine
