Grenache Noir, Syrah and Mourvèdre
Co-fermentation of the different grape varieties. Physical extractions using devatting and pumping over techniques at the beginning of fermentation give way to the traditional Rhône Valley method, which consists of submerging the pomace cap at the end of fermentation. This final extraction, conducted at 28°C, is comparable to an infusion. While respecting and preserving the aromas and flavours of jammy red fruit, it allows the wine to acquire smooth velvety tannins and guarantees good length on the palate.
