Tasting notes

Deep garnet red in color with an intense and very complex nose, mixing dried fruit aromas, leather, tobacco and spicy notes. It is a rich, powerful and full-bodied wine on the palate with a long, spicy aftertaste.

Wine maker notes

The grapes were destalked, the alcoholic fermentation carried out at high temperatures with daily "rack and return”, (a new method used for better and more regular extraction). The maceration depends on the grape variety - 4 days for Grenache and more than 15 days for Syrah and Carignan. After the draining off, two types of blend were aged on lees for several months before final blending.

Food pairing

Serve with duck or goose with a fruit glaze such as orange or raspberry sauce.
