Historical Cuvée from the Domaine produced since the XVII century, from all our vineyards on safres and Gallets roullés. A blend of terroir and grape varieties of excellence it contains the 8 reds grapes varieties of A.O.C. and even some white or pink grape in small proportion.
Yield: 32 hl/hectare.
Harvest: Hand picking.
Vinification and aging:
-
The grapes are hand-picked.
-
After a selection of the best bunches by hand on a sorting table, the grapes are crushed and destemmed and fall by gravity in our concrete tanks.
-
Long maceration with gentle extractions allow to obtain velvetine yet powerful tannins, which are specific to our wines.
-
10 % of the wine is then aged in oak barrels and demi-muids for 15 month, 90% in concrete vats.
Tasting note: Nose, garrigue bouquet, cistus flower, blackcurrant buds, all fresh and balanced on the palate, with aromas of cocoa and cherry, with a long finish of liquorice.
Food and Wine pairing: In its youth, this vintage is perfect to pair with a shoulder of lamb slow roasted in oven, roast pigeon with porcini mushroom, and from its fifth year, stew, Daube Provencal, all game and many cheeses.
Storage: Drink now through 2030
Serving temperature: 60 to 62 F°.
