The grapes for this wine are grown in the stony, limestone, and clay terroirs of the southern Rhône Valley. The blend of Grenache noir, Syrah, and Mourvèdre creates a beautiful ruby-red color and an intense nose of red berries and spices. On the palate, it is supple and generous with elegant tannins. The nose features a garrigue bouquet and cistus flower, while the mouth has balanced flavors of cocoa and cherry. The long finish is characterized by notes of liquorice. This vintage is best paired with 12-hour-oven-cooked lamb shoulder in its youth and with stew, "daube Provençale", game, and cheeses after its fifth year.

 

 
"Very attractive nose of raspberries, licorice and oranges with a touch of summer flowers. Round and silky on the full-bodied palate, the ample tannins are beautifully integrated, making the long, refined finish velvety. A cuvee of 65% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 5% each of Mourvedre, Counoise and Cinsault from biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold."
