A bright purple colour.
A first floral nose weaving peony and iris.
With air come the spice notes typical of Mourvèdre — clove, grey pepper, bay leaf.
The palate, all finesse, builds on fine, elegant tannins, moves on lovely freshness and asserts itself on a markedly floral, spicy finish.
A wine of finesse, straight and fresh.

Grape Mourvèdre 85%, Grenache 13%, Cinsault 1%, Syrah 1%.
Ageing Aged 18 months in foudres (13–80 hl).
Harvest Hand-harvested.

2021 vintage.

A spring with very little rain, resulting in few treatments.

Very cool nights, with ripening taking a long time. Since the grapes were in perfect health, we were able to wait. A later harvest than in the last 10 years, similar to the early 2000s.

High acidity, dense yet very refined tannins, and perfect balance.

A great vintage, comparable to 2000 and 2005.
