Winemaking and ageing
Originating from a selection of the finest plots on the Tautavel terroir, the grapes are harvested by hand once optimal ripeness is achieved. They come exclusively from low-yielding old Grenache Noir vines. Traditional vinification is carried out in concrete vats, followed by a long three-week maceration at temperatures not exceeding 27°C. Maceration is conducted gently to best preserve the fruit and aromas. The wine is aged for 12 months in barrels.
Tasting note
Beautiful deep garnet red colour. Complex and
powerful nose, with notes of garrigue, spices and ripe
fruit. On the palate, the grenache noir, vinified at low
temperature and aged in new barrels for twelve
months, perfectly expresses the freshness of black
fruits. On the finish, spiced, liquorice and
toasted notes enliven and add complexity to the wine.
Storage
Keep away from sunlight and at a constant temperature

Your questions about our wines
Each product page provides a food and wine pairing suggestion suited to the cuvée. Our online tasting assistant can also advise you based on your menu.
The ageing potential depends on the cuvée and vintage — it is specified in this wine's technical sheet. In general, our wines for ageing and fine wines can be kept for more than 10 years, or even over 100 years for our fortified sweet wines, whilst our lighter cuvées, intended to be enjoyed young, are best appreciated within 2 to 3 years of purchase.
The alcohol content (% vol.) varies by cuvée and vintage; it is listed in the product’s technical data sheet, below the description.
The majority of our red, white and rosé wines are dry. Our natural sweet wines (Rivesaltes, Maury...) and certain crémants are sweet or semi-dry. The style (dry/sweet) of this cuvée is specified in its description.
The grape varieties, appellation and terroir of origin are indicated in this product’s technical data sheet.
Like almost all wines, our cuvées contain sulphites (naturally present during fermentation, sometimes added in small quantities as a preservative). Details (“no added sulphites”, level, etc.) are specified on this product’s technical data sheet and on the back label.

This depends on the wine and its age, as specified on the technical data sheet where relevant. As a general rule, our powerful age-worthy wines benefit from being decanted 30 minutes to 1 hour before tasting; lighter wines, whites and rosés can be served directly.
