The wine’s dark, opaque, almost black-red hue displays purple tints in its youth, which take on beautiful amber tones over time. The wine is an explosion of red fruit on the nose and releases subtle hints of violets and pepper. With age, it develops charming truffle, licorice and stewed fruit aromas. This wine, for laying down, is instantly seductive due to the power of its tannins and later, due to their smooth and velvety texture.
This 100% Syrah comes from vines with an average age of ten years. They grow on a micro-terroir composed of granite and saprolite with schist, lying at an altitude of 320 m. The planting density is 7,000 vines per hectare. As with all the Domaine’s vines, this plot will be organic in 2022. Vineyard work includes de-budding, thinning and green harvesting to obtain the best maturity, while managing the yield (40Hl / ha). Harvesting, of course, must be carried out by hand and usually takes place the second fortnight of September.
The harvested grapes are destemmed but not crushed. We carry out a cold pre-fermentation maceration and then launch the alcoholic fermentation. Maceration continues for 28 days with daily cap-punching operations. We keep a careful eye on the temperatures. Once completed, the wine is aged for 18 months in barrels before going into the bottle that will grace your table.
