Grape varieties
1/3 Mourvèdre, 1/3 Grenache, 1/3 Syrah. All grapes coming from selected low-yield unstressed vineyards. Grenache brings warmth and softness, Syrah colour and fruit, Mourvèdre elegance and depth with its spicy notes.
Aging
After malolactic fermentation, the different varieties are blended. Ageing is done in tanks for a year, until the optimal bottling time.
Vinification process
Simple fermentation with very little pumping-over and two ‘délestages’, or rack-and-returns, in order to obtain a lot of fruit and a soft structure.
Tasting
Aspect: dense ruby red with a purple hue.
Nose: pure, with intense red fruits aromas, raspberry jam. As the wine opens up notes of spices and black olives appear.
Taste: tender and voluminous attack. Structure is elegant and fresh. Alternating fruits and spices give this wine a nice balance and harmony.
Service
Serve at 16°. Ideal with beef, lamb, barbecues and poultry in sauce.
