Product notes

Vines from Le Castelet, La Cadière d'Azur, Sainte-Anne d'Evenos, Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer, and Le Beausset. White, mineral-rich soils from the Cretaceous period, poor in nutrients but rich in limestone and silica. Deep clay soils, particularly around La Cadière d'Azur, where Mourvèdre thrives.

Production notes

Classic vinification with pump-overs. Partial harvesting. Aged for 18 months in oak barrels, then 6 months in cement tanks.
