Detailed information

Vintage

An ideal vintage thanks to the perfect combination of all the elements: a regular growth, no water stress, no diseases, nice yields and fresh, fruit and very balanced wines. The summer was very hot, but unlike 2003, a steady southerly wind helped prevent grapes from drying out.

Harvested on September 10th 2015.

Grape varieties

50% Grenache, 50% Syrah

Terroir

The vines lie on the large terrace of alluvial deposits (pebbles) from the Quaternary period with a silty matrix formed by the Aygue river to the North and by the Ouvèze river to the South.

Winemaking

Crushing and de-stemming of the harvest. Cold pre-fermentary maceration for 5 days. Fermentation and maceration of the two grape varieties during 24 days. Ageing in vats for 7 months.
