Grenache comes from a plot of hundred-year-old vines on clay-sandy soil located in the vineyard called “La Crau” and since 2017 one plot from “Coudoulet”. Mourvèdres come from the “Cristia” lieu-dit.
Very ripe black cherry fruit with pepper and touches of pepper on the nose. Full-bodied with delightful elegant finely grained tannins right through to the finish. It has all that lovely pure fruit that one should expect from very old Grenache vines. The Mourvedre brings some lovely meaty notes when the wine is young. Incredible finish. A classy wine that will get better and better over a 15 year period, maybe even longer.
