Detailed information

Vintage

Relatively cool and rainy Springallowed for a steady development of the vine. Until the eve of the harvest, important work was necessary in the vineyardto ensure good sanitary conditions. The harvest began the second week of September but, due to a rain spell, was briefly delayed in order to reach full maturity.

Yield: 20hl / ha.

Grape varieties

50% Grenache, 50% Syrah

Terroir

Deep terrace of ancient alluvium covered with pebbles, lying on a silty matrix formed by the Aygue river in the North and the Ouvèze river in the South. A soil favourable to the development of rich and intense wines.
