Farming: Practicing organic
Blend: Mourvèdre and Cinsault. Percentages of each vary with the vintage.
Vineyard: The terraced vineyard faces the sea on the top of a hill that reaches 300m, forming a great natural south-east-facing bowl. The soil is made of clay, limestone and white chalk.
Pressing: Cinsault is free run juice – Mourvèdre is “saigné” (hour of skin contact). The blend of both juices is fermented at low temperatures (22 °C) slowly for 20 days.
Cooperage: No wood, aged in tank for 6 months.
