Description
Viticulture
Our most valuable parcels on the northern slope of the lesser Luberon range down by the village of Oppède-le-Vieux. 30-year-old Syrah vines and 60-year-old Grenache goblets. Limited yields on clay-limestone soils with some alluvium pebbles.
Vinification
Traditional vinification in concrete tanks, after plot selection.
Wine aging
Aged during 30 months in new oak barrels only (225 liters).
Tasting notes
Deep garnet robe, with ruby tints. Complex oaky nose, garnished with liquorice and peppery gingerbread flavours. Hints of leather. Highly concentrated red fruit aromas on the palate, the wood comes through with strong tannins and a good balance between structure and flavour.
