We are primarily producers of AOC wine, but we also have some plots, on each of our estates, in the Mediterranean IGP. These wines, which we share with you, are available in three colors.
Presentation
Presentation
An air of Gigondas or Châteauneuf-du-Pape? Not quite, but the third leaves from our vineyards are in this bottle.
Location
We have 2 small plots planted in IGP. However, the grapes also come from our Gigondas and Châteauneuf-du-Pape estates. Indeed, before entering production for these famous vintages at the age of 4, the 2-year-old vines produce young grapes: this is what we call the third leaves. These grapes are blended with those from our IGP-designated plots.
Terroir
The soils are located in the former bed of the Rhône River and consist of alluvium.
In the vineyard
All of our estates are cultivated uniformly, whether they are classified as Cru or IGP, in accordance with the specifications.
Winemaking
The grapes are fermented after destemming and a gentle crushing. The maceration lasts 8 to 10 days, and the temperature is carefully controlled to preserve the fruit. The wine is aged for 6 to 8 months before being bottled.
Ageing
A touch of aging in concrete tanks, 8 to 10 months, before bottling.

Advice
Tasting
The color is deep red with purple highlights. On the nose, one can appreciate aromas of red fruits such as currant, fresh blackberry, and cherry. In the mouth, there are silky tannins and a long-lasting persistence.
Food pairings
We recommend serving it at 16-18°C with Tex-Mex, tapas, or delightful springtime grills.
