A big & powerful wine typical of the appellation, with a backbone of dense black fruit, finely balanced with complex & savoury accents suggesting charcuterie & forest floor. The 16 acres of Gigondas vines are located on 3 different soils: the main parcel is situated on steep mountainsides from the south side of the ' Dentelles de Montmirail', the two others are on the heights of the village & on the middle alluvial terraces. The vines are 35 years old on average, but some parcels have been planted for 50 years: the production by hectare is therefore low, which favours the quality of our wines. The grenache variety prevails, complemented with mourvedre & syrah. The h&-made grape harvest allows us a strict selection of the grapes, which are then destalked & slightly crushed. The traditional winemaking takes place in enamelled concrete tanks. The fermentation on the skins varies from 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the varieties & on the vintage. The main cuvee matures afterwards in tanks. Limited stock, 2014 vintage coming soon.
