The blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Tempranillo offers a beautiful harmony between richness and finesse. The vines, averaging 30 years old, grow in clay-limestone and clay-sand soils, which give this wine a well-balanced structure. Hand-harvesting and rigorous selection of the grapes preserve the purity of the aromas. After careful vinification in stainless steel tanks, the wine is aged in oak barrels, adding elegant complexity.

Our opinion on the vintage

On the nose, this wine reveals an enchanting bouquet of red and black fruits mingled with violet and sweet spices, followed by notes of mocha and cocoa. On the palate, it charms with its roundness and breadth, with a silky texture that unfolds into a velvety and luscious mouthfeel. The flavors of ripe fruit, spices, and toasty notes linger, leading to a concentrated yet harmonious finish, leaving a lasting impression of ripe fruit and subtly spiced cocoa.

Languedoc | France

After an experience steeped in Champagne-style winemaking, Jean-Louis Denois identified favorable conditions for growing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on certain hillsides of Languedoc. Altitude, exposure, and soil type provide an environment conducive to the expression of these grape varieties, rarely associated with the region.

The winemaking process favors a measured approach, focused on freshness and aromatic precision rather than the pursuit of power. The white wines retain a marked tension, supported by discreet mineral expressions, while the reds are built on gentle extractions, resulting in fine and well-integrated tannins.

The winemaking process remains restrained and tailored to each vintage, with the aim of complementing the wine without influencing its character. The result is a balanced and coherent expression of these Languedoc terroirs, emphasizing precision and clarity rather than a demonstrative interpretation.
