Producer tasting notes: "Appearance: intense garnet. Nose: herbacy, spices (liquorice), chocolate, fruits (strawberry). Palate: ample, fleshy, hot and round. Outstanding density with an impressive length. According to the vintage, the wine can be kept from 30 to 60 years, indeed from 50 to 75 years." - M. Chapoutier

- Harvest Notes
-
The grapes are carefully selected during the harvest. This sorting is compulsory and allows the selection of the best bunches of grapes.
- Winemaking
-
Grenache, being sensitive to oxidation, vinifications are made in concrete tanks. Fermenting lasts about 3 weeks (which allows a polymerization of tannins)with a temperature which varies between 30 and 33°C. Only the free-run wine is used in this single vineyard.
