Vinification
The harvest takes place when the tannins in the grapes reach optimum maturity. The Syrah ripens first and is harvested slightly over ripe as we wait for the mourvèdre to be ready. After destemming, each variety is macerated separately for about 30 days, then fermented for 20 days in stainless steel vats. Pneumatic pressing is followed by selection and blending.
Vineyard
Schist soil, veined with white quartz
Maturation
Between 6-8 months, in 300 liters medium toast oak casks from Tronçais and the Vosges. It is then racked and bottled.
