Vineyard From the world-renowned house of Guigal, these vines grow on the steep, rugged slopes beneath the Dentelles de Montmirail. The limestone and clay soils, combined with the high elevation, produce fruit with significant structural power and a refined mineral lift.

Wine A robust, structural, and sophisticated red. It offers a deep bouquet of black fruits, violets, and cracked pepper, supported by a dense palate with firm tannins. The wine is aged for two years in oak, resulting in a complex finish of spice, smoke, and dark chocolate.
