Terroir

Sabrine was the name of my grandmother, and this cuvée embodies the passion and craftsmanship of our winemaking family. Through this wine, we sought to express our family’s distinctive expertise and its dedication to the tradition of Côtes-du-Rhône Villages.

The terroir reveals itself in every drop of this cuvée, combining complexity and power thanks to parcels of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre located north of Orange. The rich soil, sprinkled with fine gravel on the first few meters, ensures optimal drainage and allows the vine to thrive fully. This unique terroir imparts the wine with incomparable elegance and freshness, enhancing the character of the grape variety.
