Vineyard Sourced from the estate’s certified organic vineyards, where the vines grow in the famous "galets roulés"—large, heat-retaining quartzite stones. These stones, combined with the deep sandy-clay subsoils, allow the fruit to reach exceptional maturity while maintaining the structural intensity typical of this historic appellation.

Wine A powerful and sophisticated red that exemplifies the elegance of the Southern Rhône. It offers a complex bouquet of dark cherries, dried herbs (garrigue), and raspberries, woven with notes of black pepper and licorice. The palate is full-bodied and velvet-textured, featuring ripe tannins and a long, warming finish.
