The 2020 vintage began with a rainy spring followed by a hot and dry summer. However, the nights were cool.
Terroir
North of the Alpilles.
Limestone and clay soil, very stony: Hauterivian et Barremian, second stage of the lower Cretaceous, less than 130 million years.
Harvest
The Syrah harvest started on August 31th, about ten days earlier than 2019. We continued with the Cabernet Sauvignon until September 21th to achieve the best possible ripeness.
Winemaking
No de-stemming, yeasting or sulphur. Agening 24 months in foudres and barrels. Fining with fresh egg white. No filtration before bottling.

Eye
At first glance, the robe is dazzling, luminous, carmine red with beautiful depth of violet reflections.
Nose
Powerful and complex with notes of scrubland and black olives.
Palate
The coolness of the nights allowed to obtain a wine with great liveliness and a beautiful finesse of tannins: Mixture of crushed strawberries and black olives with a finish and Eucalyptus.

Service and Pairing
Serve this wine at 16°C. Decant 1 hour before.
This vintage, smooth and supple, will be accessible when young, and can also be kept for many years.
It will go perfectly with lamb, beef... red meat in general.
