Vinification
100% hand harvest with thorough sorting of the grapes.
The Syrah is harvested twice in order to obtain optimum ripeness,
followed by Grenache and then Mourvedre.
After having undergone an extremely thorough selection on the sorting table,
the grapes are cooled down.
The grapes are then blended at vinification.
While Grenache is the heart of the mixture, Syrah enhances wonderfully the aromatic
potential.
Depending on the harvest, the wine ages during 14 to 18 month in new oak barrels.
Aging potential : you can enjoy the wine now , decanting it 3 to 4 hours before serving
in order to give the exuberant aromas the opportunity to fully developand to tame the young
tannins.
Stored in good condition, the wine can be conserved 20 to 30 years
