This cuvée is crafted from a skillful blend of Négrette and Syrah, sourced from selected plots on stony boulbène soil. The low-yield harvest yields rich, concentrated grapes. Gravity-fed vinification without crushing, followed by a maceration period of about four weeks, allows for the extraction of intense aromas. Eighteen months of aging in large oak vats and barrels ensures supple tannins and aromatic complexity.
