Aromas of black fruits, honeyed dried fruits, nutmeg spice with touches of leather. Medium to full bodied with palate of raspberry, dried prune, spice and leather.  Taut mineral tannins hold everything to a long, rich and elegant finish.

The appellation area is located on the left bank of the Rhône, between Orange and Avignon, in Châteauneuf du Pape. This vintage is produced on a plot located on the hillsides of the place called “Les Grandes Gallières”.

The vines planted between 1980 and 1985 are located mainly on limestone soils with white pebbles from the Urgonian, essential for obtaining a beautiful minerality as well as brown soils and safres, for finesse and elegance.

Mediterranean type with particularly hot summers. The mistral drives away humidity, thus ensuring very favourable conditions for growing vines.

Plot selection on 12 hectares. It is necessarily manual at optimal maturity, allowing selective sorting of the harvest. We attach a lot of importance to this qualitatively essential point.

Completely destemmed before being vinified in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats. Vinification and vatting for a minimum of 21 days in vats with temperature control, load shedding then daily pumping over and stirring. Aging for 9 months in stainless steel tuns and vats. Light filtration before bottling.

Our wines can be enjoyed from the first year with a dominance of red fruit yogurts but they can be kept for 6 years depending on the vintages and storage conditions.

Perfect with Roast Beef with all the trimmings, lamb, lasagne, mature hard cheeses.
