More about this wine
More about this wine
At the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, vines are planted at an altitude of between 100 and 500 meters on three types of soil, including the famous Triassic marls. In 2005, the appellation’s red wines were awarded Cru of the Rhône Valley.
60% grenache, 30% syrah, 10% mourvèdre.
Terroir
Triassic marl, Cretaceous white earth, Grey Jurassic earth. A blend of three terroirs including three levels of altitude from 100 to 500 meters.
Winemaking
All grapes varieties were vinified together.
This method of vinification was made possible thanks to the difference of altitude of the plots.
Ageing
The high altitude vines provided sufficient acidity and freshness to allow Burgundian style ageing in barrel for 50% of the blend.
The rest was aged in stainless steel tanks.
Can age until 2026+.

Xavier Vignon
Xavier Vignon inherited from his parents’ two fundamental values: the love for a job well done and the capacity to transmit knowledge.
His in-depth knowledge of the Rhône Valley (34 harvests as an oenologist worldwide), his mentors, all the vintners he has been working with and his incredible memory have been forging his style and identity: Terroir driven, fruity and complex wines supported by freshness and minerality.
Xavier has been consulting for the very best wineries all his life and now dedicates his talent to his own creations.
