The vines, to the east and west of the Rhône, gather all the complexity of the Rhône terroirs

Terroir 

This wine comes from two terroirs with complementary qualities allowing the Grenache to reveal all its potential: elegance and finesse thanks to the small yields and clay-limestone subsoil of the Gardois terroir and power and hardiness thanks to the round pebbles and clay subsoil of the Vauclusian soils.

 

Tasting Notes

The 2023 vintage has allowed us to produce a fresh, well-rounded wine. It is a blend of Grenache and Cinsault, beautifully expressing red fruit aromas, with Syrah adding structure to the finish. Its roundness and smoothness on the palate make it a particularly pleasant and easy-to-drink wine. It charms with its balance. Ideal for any occasion !
