Situated in the southern Rhône Valley, the 58-hectare domain with vine classifications in Vacqueyras, Gigondas and Côtes du Rhône has been converted to Bio-Dynamic culture since 1996. All wines are made from bio grapes and grown with bio-dynamic methods. The philosophy is to orientate the daily work towards the permanent search for perfect balance both in the vines and in the winery, to obtain the greatest of wines from the land. |
 |
I’m characterized by my dark color. |
 |
I reveal aromas of black fruits as found in the Syrah of the northern Rhône valley. An aromatic expression of fig, violet, and spices, with hints of leather in the background. The bouquet brings a range of aromas from ripe blackberries, sweet tobacco, eucalyptus, melted butter and the classical touch of garrigue. |
 |
In the mouth it's very balanced with nice minty freshness and delicate spiced blackberry fruit. Round in the mouth stands out as a rich, fresh and delicate wine, lovely tannins in the finish. |
 |
I'm the perfect accompaniment to cured meat, read meat and tomato based. |
