“Composed of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, & 10% Mourvedre, from vines ave 45 yrs of age, & yielding around 2 tons/acre. They purchase as soon as possible after harvest, often before malolactic fermentation is finished, so that they can select what they believe are lots with the potential to become great wine. Their Châteauneufs spend a minimum of 2-3 years in large oak casks, followed by extended bottle aging.”
