Winemaking notes
The main component in this blend, Mourvèdre is combined with the full-bodied texture of Grenache. The grapes are all hand picked and go through a stringent selective grape sorting, followed by an extremely delicate pressing process. Fermentation is done in thermo-regulated vats followed by aging in oak casks for six to eight months.
Viticultural notes
Located in the Bandol appellation and lies at the foot of the village of Le Castellet. The soil is composed of limestone, sandstone, and marine upper cretaceous marls. The Bandol appellation
is known for its terraced landscapes built from the hard stone with vines, which are planted into vast terraces with varying exposures. The sea air from the bay of Bandol compensates for the terroir's acidity and low rainfall. The winery is located on 148 acres, which are fully devoted to wine production. Cultivation methods are traditional and the soil is mechanically tilled and young shoots are trained with the greatest care to the plant.
Tasting notes
The colour is dense with tints of purple, garnet and ruby. Powerful, delicious and elegant, its red berry bouquet reveals aromas of cherry, blackcurrant and peppery spices in the mouth. This balanced softness leads up to a silky finish.
Pairing notes
Pairs well with grilled fish, nicoise salad, fried or roast chicken, herbed pork tenderloin and lamb.
