Terroir

This contiguous vineyard is located on the left bank of the Rhône river in the town of Roquemaure, between Orange and Avignon, near Tavel. The vines are mainly planted on a plateau of rolled pebbles soil. Downhill from the plateau, the plots are terraced or on hillsides, with a terroir of sandier soils mixed with a superficial rolled pebbles layer.

Vinification

Direct pressing in pneumatic presses. Natural cold settling (10-12°C) and light fining. Vinification at constant low temperature of 14° to 16°C. Duration of fermentation: three weeks minimum. Approximately one third of the must is fermented in Burgundian barrels (new and of one year old) and kept in wood. The other part is kept in tanks on fine lees. Blending takes place in May the year following harvest.

Wine Enthusiast

This wine welcomes you with classic garrigue aromas followed by a blend of boysenberry, dark plums and black cherry. Well-integrated tannins offer texture and sets the stage for an abundance of ripe black cherries, dried thyme and cardamom. Its lingering saline finish easily makes this wine a wonderful pairing for various lamb or roasted meat preparations. Enjoyable now with a proper decant or cellar through 2028+ before revisiting.
