Description
The limestone soils are planted primarily with Mourvèdre in order to lend finesse to the wine. The sandy soils are planted with Grenache and Syrah for their intensely fruity characters. The rolled pebble vine terraces impart a silky backbone and notes of sweet spice. 92/100 - James Suckling : "Aromas of blackcurrants, dried blueberries, stewed cherries, licorice, olives and chili jam. It’s medium-to full-bodied with sleek, ripe tannins. Intensely flavored and spiced with a savory, herb and saline finish. Quite rich. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."
