THE ESTATE TELLS YOU ABOUT IT
A blend from the oldest vines on the estate (50 to 100 years old): 50 % Grenache et LLadoner Pelut, 35% Carignan, 15% Syrah. Limestone-clay soils, mainly on hillsides, pH >9. Extensive work on the vines: green harvest, bud and side-shoots removal and leaf thinning. Grapes are picked at optimum ripeness, and then sorted in the vineyard and after de-stemming. The harvest is transported in refrigerated trucks. Short pre-fermentary cold maceration in small stainless steel vats, at low temperature with daily punching of the cap and pumping-over. Temperatures controlled in the cap during fermentation. 20 to 25 day macerations with slow and gentle extraction.
Aged without racking for 12 months in one-year and two-year old barrels, as well as traditional cement tanks. Bottled after fining for 2 months in tanks. A naturally powerful wine, with no excess, but extremely aromatic. The silkiness of the tannins makes it enjoyable young, but it will show its full potential after aging in the bottle for at least 3 years. Ideal years cellaring: 5 to 10 year.
