Detailed information

Vintage

A dry winter followed by a particularly cool spring with an episode of unusual heat at the end of March which awakened the vines early. Early in the morning of April 8th, frost hit part of the vineyard. This cold snap slowed down the vegetative cycle and permitted the ripening process to resume a more normal schedule. In April, May and July, rainfall allowed the vineyards to spend a peaceful summer characterized by temperatures close to seasonal norms.

Grape varieties

60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 20% Mourvèdre

Terroir

The grapes come from ancient pebbly terraces over sandy marl on the sector of Blovac, just south of Rasteau. This particular terroir brings minerality and structure to the wine.
