About this winery

A terroir blessed by the gods For centuries, the rolled pebbles, the 13 grape varieties, the sun and the Mistral wind have been the fundamentals of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. The terroir in Châteauneuf-du-Pape is unique: its large pebbles, heated by the sun, providentially diffuse a gentle heat into the soil, thus favouring the maturity and concentration of the grapes.

Production notes

Destemming, light crushing, then put in vats for fermentation. Long vatting periods (between 26 and 31 days) with indigenous yeasts allow the maximum extraction of phenolic compounds (tannin, color), aromas, but in a very supple way, in order to let the concentration obtained in the vineyard express itself with yields of 15 to 20 hl/Ha. An 18 months ageing in oak barrels ensures a good clarification and rounding of the tannins in the search for harmony and balance of the wine. The wine is carefully bottled at the Domaine before settling in their underground cellars.

Tasting notes

The robe is a deep purple with ruby reflections. The nose is racy and deep. Aromatic, complex with its aromas of forest fruits, flowery notes (very elegant), spices, aromas of garrigue, fresh. The tannins are very smooth and silky. This makes it a very balanced wine, deep, with a great length in the mouth, with an impressive ageing potential. Perfect accompaniment to a rack of lamb, beef or wild boar bourguignon, roast duck.
