75cl
Syrah 40%, Grenache 60%
LOCATION: The estate located on ancient deforested bushland extends in terraces overlooking the ancient village of Sérignan-du-Comtat. It has 14 hectares of vineyards aged between 15 and 40 years on alluvial soil generously lined with rolled pebbles.
CHARACTERISTICS: The cuvée is 100% destemmed. Here, the Syrah consolidates a Grenache with rather low yields. This wine reaches the level of the best red crus of the Côtes-du-Rhône thanks to the selection of the best grapes (old vines) and aging for eight to twelve months in vats. In addition to its dark color, we like to grasp its fruity aroma and its length in the mouth, for example with roast meat.
