Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan
Southern Rhône varietals in elegant harmony
- This Corbieres displays refined tannin structure with a graceful texture. The wine's backbone is supple rather than austere, allowing the fruit to emerge without aggressive grip.
- Dark berry fruit provides the foundation, layered with subtle complexity. The interplay between ripe black fruit and mineral undertones creates a wine of genuine interest rather than mere weight.
- Approachable upon release, yet sufficiently structured to reward cellaring. The 2020 vintage offers immediate pleasure without demanding extended bottle age.

In the mouth
The attack is clean and direct, with a refreshing acidity that carries through the palate. The mid-palate reveals good structure and a pleasant dark fruit character that resonates agreeably with the toasted, empyreumatic notes from the nose.
On the nose
Forthright bouquet combining warm spice—clove and black pepper—with toasted, roasted notes. The aromatic profile suggests careful élevage in wood without dominating the fruit.
On the eye
Deep ruby to garnet. The colour is notably concentrated, suggesting good extraction and ripe fruit at harvest.
Breeding
60% of the wine is aged in oak, 40% in stainless steel
A wine of substance suited to robust fare. Consider it alongside a Flemish beef stew, aged Angus picanha, or a mature sheep's milk tomme. The tannin structure and acidity provide the necessary counterpoint to rich, savoury dishes.
