“A terroir print on a wine is like a musical score and is always deeper, more complex and more interesting than one created by man. The winemaker needs to learn to understand it and nourish it, to let its vibrato resonate through the wine. Later, much like a conductor, the winemaker can give free rein to his creativity through the art of blending.”
Terroir: Sourced from both sides of the Rhone. The right bank with its terroir of big pebbles and red clay give power and richness while the left bank, with its terroir of calcium rich white clay brings freshness and structure.
Vinification:
o The harvest is destemmed, not crushed
o Temperature controlled fermentation at 26°C (78,8°F) without addition of SO2 and with racking
o Long maceration (5 weeks) submerged cap
o Aging in concrete vats for one year
o Bottling with minimal SO2
Tasting Notes:
o Appearance : deep ruby red
o Nose : aromas of ripe black fruit, violet and licorice intermingle
harmoniously
o Taste : full and velvety, it reveals flavors of blackberry, cassis and hints of thyme and rosemary. Its finish is endowed with a fine grain of tannin and a pleasant freshness
