Detailed information
Vintage
The hot dry spring heralded an early harvest. But a contrasted summer (July was cool and wet, August hot and dry) followed by a fine Indian summer proved ideal for grape ripeness. Harvests began on the 14th September.
Terroir
Plots are selected on the “Garrigue” sector, on rocky soils of alluvial origin. This terroir produces dark wines, with notes of fruit and hints of spices.
Winemaking
De-stemming and pressing. Alternation of punch-downs and rack-and-return operations during the maceration stage. 15 months of elevage for the Syrah wine in 275-litre oak Laurus barrels (1, 2 and 3 wines).
