The Vineyard:
This cuvée is a selection of old vines, a parcels of Syrah presents in this blend was planted by my grandfather in 1966, it’s one of the two oldest plots of Syrah planted in Gigondas.
Only two parcels of our oldest Grenache have been selected for the production of this cuvée, a parcel from 1919 and a parcel from 1929.
Our parcels benefit from an important biodiversity, they are surrounded by many trees, white and green oaks, broom, aromatic plants and benefit from low exposure to the sun.
The morning freshness of these plots allows the Grenache to blossom slowly and preserve an exceptional aromatic power.
The estate obtain HVE 3 certification this year. We limit and minimize the use of phytosanitary products, but we do not prohibit ourselves from using them when circumstances require it. No weeding for the plots of this cuvée.
Exposure and soil: Sands & marls from the “Cone de la Font des Papes”, give finesse to this cuvée
