2023 Technical Specifications
Alcohol 13.3%
pH 3.24
Grape Varieties 80% Grenache Noir, 20% Carignan
Drinking Window 5 to 10 years
Classification AOC Maury Sec
Region Maury Sec
Soil Schist; a mosaic of biodynamically farmed, Bush-trained plots
Vine Age Old Grenache vines, including centenarian vines planted as early as 1914
Fermentation Vessels Stainless steel tanks
Indigenous Yeast Yes
Sulfites 56.0 ppm
Contains Added Sulfites Yes
Production Details Hand-harvested fruit is destemmed after two sorting passes, first on a conveyor and then a vibrating table. Parcels are vinified separately in stainless-steel tanks with indigenous yeasts, without added oenological inputs or SO2 during fermentation, using gentle infusion. The wine is tank-aged until bottling, when a light sulfite addition is made. Recommended serving temperature is 11–12°C. The analytical panel also displays residual sugar as 0 without a unit and total acidity as 3.57 g without a per-litre expression or acid-equivalent basis; these figures should remain contextual rather than canonical analytical values.
Tasting Notes Fresh, juicy grapes; strawberries; raspberries; blackberries; dried rose petals; wild cherry; rockrose; sappy, anise and menthol notes; creamy, mouth-watering palate; powdery refreshing tannins; mineral character
Food Pairing Blood-orange tagine; pastilla; beef daube; monkfish roasted with smoked bacon
Critics Ratings 94/100

Production Details Hand-harvested fruit undergoes two sorting passes—on a conveyor belt and then a vibrating table—followed by destemming. Parcels are vinified separately in stainless-steel tanks. Fermentation uses indigenous yeasts, with no added oenological inputs or SO2 during fermentation, and gentle infusion is used to preserve grape texture and soil expression. The wine is tank-aged until bottling, when a light sulfite addition is made. Recommended serving temperature is 11–12°C. The analytical panel also displays residual sugars as 0 without a unit and total acidity as 3.57 g without a per-litre expression or acid-equivalent basis; these two figures are therefore retained contextually rather than emitted as canonical analytical values.
