A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, with vines averaging 40-years-old. Biodynamically farmed and manually harvested, the grapes are fermented separately in neutral oak barrels, then blended and transferred to large foudre for aging. Bottled and cellared at the winery for extended aging before release.
Shockingly red in color with a garnet rim that hints to the age on this wine. The nose is full of black cherry and cassis, accented with herbal and floral garrigue of lavender, sage, tapenade, black pepper and leather. Earthy red and black fruit with rosemary and vanilla bean mingle on the palate with velvety tannins and refreshing acidity. Perfectly encapsulating the rusticity of Provence with the refinement of fine Burgundy.
