Tasting
- 94/100 James Suckling
- When to drink this wine : Best from 2024 to 2039.
- Tasted on April 23, 2023: "Lots of smoke, pepper and blackberry on the nose, but also ripe red berries and dried flowers that develop as it airs. Both ripe and fleshy, but also silky and graceful. Full-bodied. The power is understated until you get to the finish where you feel the beautifully crafted structure. Cuvée composed of 60% Grenache from Pradel and 40% Syrah from La Font du Pape. 75% whole cluster. Aged in a combination of Stockinger oak tuns and clay amphorae. Made from biodynamically grown and Demeter certified grapes. Drinkable or cellarable."
TERROIR AND DATA SHEETS
Fine sands, saffron, red clays, each lieu-dit brings its unique stone to the building. "Le Pradel" and "La Font du Pape" in the lead. On the latter, the translation from Provençal suggests a humid place conducive to Syrah, or rather Serines, which express their freshness and crispness. Through the historical and major grape varieties of our region, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Counoise, this union of terroirs finds its raison d'être in the coherent and elegant wines it creates. Origin : A blend of complementary plots of land located at Les Saintes Vierges, La Font du Pape and Le Pradel.
- Grape varieties : 64% Grenache vieilles vignes, 25% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, 1% Counoise.
- Vinification : Manual harvest with severe sorting, destemming, short and gentle maceration with light punching down.
- Maturation : 18 months in recent tuns.
- Soil : Les Saintes Vierges and Le Pradel (sandy soils on Miocene molasses), La Font du Pape (ancient alluvium and reworked molasse sands).
