Special characteristic

Sourced from a selection of low-yielding old-vine plots that produce highly concentrated grapes. Manual harvest involving triage. Gentle extraction through manual maceration (skin contact). Half of the total volume underwent maturation on the lees for six months in French oak barrels. No filtering.

Deep ruby. Fine nose of black fruit and cherry. Concentrated, velvety and complex, with a big body and notes of cocoa and dried spice. Fresh, fruity finish with mineral accents and silky tannins.

Sourced within the Costières de Nîmes AOP. Galets roulés (round river stones) on loamy sand.
