100% Grenache Noir, from vines planted on gneiss soils. Viticulture and vinification are straightforward and natural; infusion is practiced during vinification for greater delicacy. Fermented and matured for 10 months in 500-liter demi-muid barrels, without new oak. The wine spends an extra month in vats to be naturally decanted. Unfined, unfiltered, bottled with a micro-dose of sulphur. Historically classified as Côtes Catalanes, this vintage's cuvée is labeled as Vin de France.
