The Chapoutier family always seeks to discover and reflect the full potential of his terroirs and let the soils express their true character. That which gives the wines their signature style and strives to reveal the very best of what the soils have to offer.

Tasting Notes:

Produced from 100% Grenache

Pale salmon colour in appearance with a nose that provides a mixture of bright red fruits, predominately strawberry and raspberry with grenadine aromas and some delicate peach notes.

The palate displays refreshing acidity - light and crisp with subtle minerality to complement the red fruit aromas. A light, cleansing finish.

Served around 10°C, the wine would match perfectly barbecues and Mediterranean dishes.

Vinification:

The grapes are whole bunch pressed to obtain high quality juice at low pressure and reduce the extraction of colour.

The juice is cold settled without enzymes, retaining a high level of turbidity.

Fermentation takes place at a low temperature with natural yeasts.

Terroir:

Soils of shallow fersialitic soils derived from quaternary alluviums of clays, on shales and siltstones (primary age) with inclusions of quartz.
