Detailed information
Vintage
With a particularly cold winter, flowering began around the 20th May. The ripening of the grapes took place under ideal conditions with a summer that was hot and dry. In September there was alternating rain and Mistral wind, allowing the grapes to mature beautifully and in perfect condition. Harvest started the 30th Sept for the Syrahs and 6th Oct for the Grenaches and yield was around 23hl/ha.
Grape varieties
Terroir
A blend of two terroirs:
- Syrah from “La Jasse”, on limestone scree and marl from the Cretaceous period at 400m. alt (1300ft) in the Dentelles.
- Grenache & Syrah from the “Montmirail” zone in sandy marl of the Oligocene period at 150m alt (500ft)
Winemaking
Havested manually with crushing and full destemming. Punching down of the cap with up to 3 pump overs a day and 15 to 25 days of maceration/fermentation depending on the tank. Run off and separation of the free-run and pressed wines. Malo-lactic fermentation and then reintroduction of a portion of the press wine. 18-month “elevage” with the Grenache in tank and the Syrah in oak barrels (mix of new, 1 year and 2 year barrels).
Bottled at the estate on April 2012
