Terroir:
The Grenache grapes come from the famed sector of "La Crau", a large Quaternary terrace covered with cobblestones, giving the wine structure and body. The Syrah grapes are grown on clay-limestone soils from the Cretaceous period, bringing great elegance and finesse to the wine.
Note de dégustation:
"The wine's deeper ruby/purple color is followed by classic notes of ripe black cherries, lavender, Provençal garrigue, and peppery herbs. With medium to full-bodied richness, a plimp, expansive mouthfeel, no hard edges, and a great finish, drink this pleasure-bent 2018 any time over the coming 7-8 years. I wouldn't be surprised to see it keep even longer." Jeb Dunnuck, october 2020
