Ripened on the slopes edging
the ponds of the "Petite Camargue", this vintage expresses a good
marriage between the fruit of the grape and maturation in barrel.
Grape type
Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre
Wine-making
Picked at best skin maturity. Stem removal. Before fermentation, skins are bleeded at low temperature and under CO2. Fermentation in controlled temperature tanks at 25/27°C. Long bleeding.
Our tasting
Deep sustained color with a big brightness. Strong nose of jam red
fruits, spices, vanilla, liquorice. The first mouth is frank and
harmonious. Strong finish of preserve fruits, light touch of wood. This
wine is not filtered and some little dregs can therefore gather with
time at the bottom of bottle.
Sommelier's advice
A haunch of venison with some olives, strong cheeses will be appreciated with this wine.
