About this winery
A region between mountain and sea, 65 hectares of vines on a terroir rich in biological, geological and climatic diversity.

Production notes
Vinified in accordance with traditional methods, the grapes are first fully destemmed, then gently macerated for 8 to 12 days. The Syrah undergoes a cold pre-fermentation maceration to enhance its aromatic expression. Fermentation, carried out with indigenous yeasts, faithfully reflects the character of the terroir. The wine is aged for 15 months in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 15°C, preserving its finesse and freshness. No fining, no artifices — just the wine, in its purest expression.
Tasting notes
To the eye, an intense purple hue. The nose captivates with its complexity: cardamom, black pepper, and ripe plum. On the palate, a dense core of fruit — black cherry, raspberry, and blueberry — subtly enhanced by notes of bay leaf and minerality. The texture is supple and silky, carried through to a warm, lingering finish marked by spice and dark fruit. A deep, harmonious wine, both generous and elegant. Best enjoyed with grilled duck breast drizzled with blackberry sauce, herb-crusted roast pork with Provençal herbs, or a lentil stew seasoned with smoked paprika. It also pairs beautifully with aged Comté cheese or a rustic wild mushroom tart.
