"Great dark garnet-red. The first nose is quite closed with a dominant of graphitic, leather, and then intense aromas of pepper, black fruits and scrubs. The attack is rich, dense. Then the wine is fleshy and solar. The final is sappy served by delicate tannins and a great freshness.
Syrah, Grenache and Carignan. The vineyard is located on Gneiss and schistous soils from the Devonian Period and limestone from Kimmeridgian Period. Grapes are hand-harvested. 100% destemmed. Extraction is only carried out by punching of the cap during a long maceration (at least four weeks). About half are matured in vats and the other half is aged in casks." - Chapoutier
