A glorious wine from this family-run estate in the Southern Rhone Valley. The wine is a blend of 5 grape varieties , of which Grenache (70%) is the most important. The wine is aged for 12 months before bottling. It shows aromas of raspberry and cherry, and on the palate there is more black fruit with a hint of spiciness. Old vines, some more than 80 years old, add complexity and body to the taste.

This is a traditional Domaine, and the secret to its quality lies in the old vines. The wine is richly fruity, with low acidity and fine tannins, resulting in a smooth texture in the mouth, a slightly spicy finish, and easy to drink.
