This is the main wine of the estate. The wine is based on 70% Grenache Noir, 20% Syrah and some Mourvèdre and Cinsault in the blend, the percentage of each grape variety will slightly differ depending on the vintage.
The vines are of an average age of 50 years old and the yield averages 25 hl/ha depending on the vintage.
The hand-picked grapes are destemmed before a pre-fermentation skin maceration that will last 5 to 7 days. The fermentations in stainless steel vats will last about 4 weeks at 28°C. Ageing in the underground cellar will last 18 months: 50% of the volume in concrete vats and 50% in demi-muids barrels (20% new) for 12 months. The latter will be blended with the other half in concrete vats for the remaining 6 months.
