Varietal Composition: 60% Grenache, 40% Syrah

Elaboration: The terroir for the Châteauneuf-du-Pape is terraces of rounded pebbles in the north-west of appellation. Old vines combined with an exceptional terroir bring intense aromas to this wine. The terraces of rounded pebbles cumulate sun heat during the afternoon and return it at night. The grapes are handpicked & sorted and fully destemmed, keeping only the best fruit. It ferments at low temperature during 20 to 30 days with several punch downs to enhance the skin-juice contact and develop the maximum amount of aromas. The wine is partly aged in oak barrels as well as in concrete tanks for 12 to 18 months and filtered before bottling.

Tasting Notes: Dense ruby color with garnet-red shades. Expressive nose of black cherries with notes of barrel ageing; vanilla, spices. Rich and voluminous on the palate with a beautiful powerfulness, and aromas of ripe cherries, redcurrant jam, finishing with polished tannins and a remarkable intensity.
