  Origin: 1.5 ha of south, located on the hillside of Semons. "Bassenon" is the name of the stream located at the bottom of the hillside.
  Terroirs: Granite migmatite and gneiss
  Grape varieties: 90% Syrah, 10% Viognier.
  Viticulture: planted in high density (8,000-10,000 feet per ha). Treatments limited to the maximum depending on the weather, no insecticide to preserve biodiversity, little fertilizer and only organic. Control of vigor and yields, leaf stripping, green harvesting for better ripening of the grapes. Disbudding in the spring.
  Vinification: manual harvesting, parcel and traditional vinification. Use of oenological products (indigenous yeasts) as little as possible. In the cellar, sorting, crushing and partial destemming. Maceration of 3 weeks in open tanks.
  Ageing: 18 months in barrels. Assembly of the different plots before bottling.
  Olfactory tasting: seductive and fruity wine. Nose on red and black fruits, sweet flowers and some spices.
  Taste tasting: the finesse of the terroir brings a mineral freshness to this wine. The palate remains velvety with delicate tannins.
  Ageing: to be enjoyed young on fruity aromas (4 to 5 years) or on evolutionary aromas (10 years and more).
  Pairing: meat with a delicate texture but character (candied lamb mouse, spice pigeon

  Second Tuesday club - 2019 Rhone Valley Red and Whites (Le Petit Flor Restaurant, Sydney): Medium minus intensity aromas show blackberry fruit, a little earth with perfumed top notes. With time in the glass it starts to show a little jubey top note. In the mouth the fruit is a little bit sour with medium plus intensity acidity, dense, tannins are floury and persistent, overall the impression is of freshness, balance. Young but nice.

  Super interesting on the nose but with a little quietude. Significant here.
