Aged in a combination of Stockinger oak tuns and clay amphora. Made from biodynamically grown and Demeter certified grapes. For drinking or cellaring.
TERROIR AND TECHNICAL DATA
The domain tells you about it : "This wine of assembly reflects the whole of our vineyard in Gigondas. It finds its character in the diversity of eight different "lieux dits", expressed through four Rhodanian grape varieties. Red clay alluvium, limestone marl and blue clay contribute as much as Grenache and Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault to the making of this intense and elegant wine. Each locality brings its own personality and complementarity. Marked by fruit and noble vegetal essences in its youth, it usually undertakes a slow evolution towards spicy notes during a few years of keeping."
- Grape varieties: Grenache 75%, Syrah 10%, Mourvèdre 13%, Cinsault 2%. (40 years of average age in organic culture).
