Our 5 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon are "old vines". They were planted between 1951 and 1978. 40-60-year-old vines, when properly handled, give a special wine. Old vines are rooted more deeply, are more resistant to drought, produce smaller crops. The average yields decrease leading to more concentrated, intense wines in brief wines from old vines taste more intense and profound, they embody "terroir". In our case, the heat of the summer days, the freshness of the nights and the Mistral.

The colour is deep purple. The profile is rich, linking notes of vanilla, fresh spice, black fruit, garrigue. The palate unfolds with density, depth, linking spices, dried fruits, with fresh tannins marked by mint

A wine to keep for the next five to eight years.

A joy of a wine with meat, for an evening meal or to drink on its own. Perfect to accompany roast beef or lamb, “steak frites” or strong hearty meat dishes, such as Cassoulet, beef Goulash with peppers, bacon and lentils or savoury ham. And always good to accompany a pasta dish with strong sauces such as spaghetti Bolognese.

Full-bodied red wines go extremely well with mature hard cheeses, even with the extra mature Parmigiano Reggiano made from cows’ milk, or mature Gouda. We recommend a mature sheep’s cheese with our Grande Cuvée, for example, a mild, fresh Pecorino or the Spanish Manchego. The French mountain cheese Beaufort, from the Savoyard Alps, also goes well with a glass of Grande Cuvée. Do also try a mature Camembert.

Awards At the 2017 Concours Général Agricole in Paris, our Grande Cuvée 2014 won a silver medal.
