Tasting notes
Deep colour. An open nose with balsamic notes, black fruit and bay leaf. A dynamic palate, with a balance characterised by freshness and silky tannins. A mineral finish with salty undertones.
Winemaking: Grapes harvested entirely destemmed, with no added sulphites. Fermentation with natural yeasts in stainless steel tanks. Maceration punctuated by gentle pump-overs to ensure gentle extraction. • 40-year-old vineyard. A cuvée paying tribute to the winemaker’s grandfather. A fine expression of Carignan without any coarseness. Yield: 35 hl/ha.
