Winemaker Notes

This renowned appellation produces wines of
power and depth. The variety of soils and microclimates allow for a great diversity of style.
Favoring sandy soils with cooler exposures our
blend of Grenache and Syrah spiced with a splash
of Mourvèdre and aged in demi-muids delivers
incredible purity and freshness while keeping a
hedonistic signature.

Terroir: AOC Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Combination of sandy soils with some plots of
galets and red clay.
