Grape-variety : 55% Syrah, 35% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre.

Soil : Brown schist

Vinification : A good trellising allows to develop an important leaf surface and yields are
controlled, allowing to pick concentrated grapes, rich in polyphenol which are
at the root of full-bodied wines.

Vinification in vats of 50 and 70 hl, traditional, beginning with a light cold
maceration (3/4 days) to extract and fix color all with developing aromas of
cool fruit, then alcoholic fermentation (25 °) thanks an extractive way with
punching of the cap, daily pumps over (3 a day) and finally a heat maceration
before fermentation allowing the extraction of the most polymerized tannins
and so to give to the structure a volume and its final largeness. Grape harvest is
de-stemmed before to restrict plant aromas and too rural tannins.
