Product notes

The vineyard is situated on hillsides and terraces with diverse soils, including clay-limestone, red clay, and fluvio-glacial sands. The 40-year-old vines are shielded from moisture by the mistral winds, while the gentle warmth of the galets helps the grapes achieve excellent ripeness. After traditional vinification with a long maceration, the wine is aged in concrete tanks to let the terroir speak for itself.

Tasting notes

Intense ruby-red color. The nose reveals notes of red fruits, spices, and licorice. The palate is structured with smooth tannins, echoing the aromas. The wine has a beautiful freshness that ties everything together.
