This premium cuvée is crafted from a selection of plots characterized by an abundance of rounded pebbles. The estate places particular emphasis on destemming and trellising, ensuring optimal leaf surface area. Vinification is meticulous, with two manual punch-downs per day and a long 30-day vatting period, lending this wine remarkable concentration and intensity. Syrah dominates here, with just a touch of Grenache to comply with the appellation.
