Vinification
Hand harvested with parcel selection for the ripest grapes (from August 26 for the first Syrah and September 10 for the latest Mourvèdre). Long maceration for 20 to 30 days. We have produced 62,000 bottles of this vintage.
Vineyard
Found right in the middle of the Faugères appellation, our vineyards cover just over 20 hectares on the foothills of the Cévennes looking down on the village of Laurens. The vines, lying in an ideal spot at an altitude of 180 metres, are between 30 and 60 years old and naturally produce low yields.
Maturation
The wine is matured in new or one-wine oak casks for 12 months, punctuated by regular racking off.
