True to the wine tradition of the Côte-Rôtie, the domain has favoured a blend of Syrah and Viognier. This gives a more pronounced suppleness and fruity character to those of black fruit, violet and peppery notes which are typical of Syrah. Cultivated on a variety of soils (gneiss, mica-schist, clays, limestone, sand, pebbles), these two varieties were harvested by hand and fermented for a long time in stainless steel thermoregulated vats. The wine was then aged for between 18 and 24 months in barriques. It has a beautiful ruby ​​hue and has aromas of ripe red fruits and spices. It will pair beautifully with red meats or tasty gratin.
