This blend, dominated by Carignan, reflects a meticulous winemaking process: the hand-harvested grapes undergo a 15-day maceration in concrete tanks with regular punching down to fully extract the aromas. After patiently aging in four-year-old barrels, the wine is bottled unfiltered, preserving its natural and authentic character. Decanting it into a carafe one hour before serving allows its aromas to fully develop.

Sabots d'Hélène
In the wild reaches of the Corbières, Les Sabots d'Hélène crafts cuvées where the ruggedness of the landscape blends with a quest for purity. The parcels, cultivated with minimal inputs, yield free-run juices that are sometimes slightly raw, yet consistently driven by forthright fruit and a supple texture. Carignan and Grenache express themselves here with a juicy, almost tactile profile, exhibiting unexpected freshness for this high-altitude area. Minimal aging allows for a direct, unadorned aromatic expression. These are sincere, vibrant wines that tell the story of an uncompromising territory.
