Terroir:
The vineyard is situated on classic Châteauneuf terroir, with rolled pebbles on the surface, and sand, clay, and limestone deeper down. The old vines, organically farmed for over 50 years, benefit from deep root systems, which contribute to the complexity of the wine.
Ageing:
After a manual harvest, each grape variety undergoes separate vinification. The wine is then aged in oak Foudres for a year before bottling, allowing the blend to mature and develop a refined character.
Serving:
Best served at around 15°C. If possible, decant before serving to enhance its full expression.
