Grapes and vinification

The grapes for this wine come from different terroirs in the south of France. Grenache and Syrah are grown on the slopes between the Pyrenees and the Cevennes mountains, while Mourvèdre comes from the southern coastal area of ​​the Mediterranean. Each grape variety is vinified individually; Grenache and Syrah undergo traditional destemming and crushing before fermentation, while Mourvèdre is fermented with whole bunches. After a long fermentation in used French and American wooden barrels, the three wines are aged separately for six months, then blended and aged for another six months in the same types of wooden barrels.
