BELLES ECHAPPEES

Soil

This fairly uniform terroir is really a vast alluvial terrace formed by the Aigues and Ouvèze rivers during the Riss Glacial Period two or three hundred thousand years ago, overlaid with chalky gravel dating from the Quaternary Era. The gravel mainly rests on zaffre sandstone.
The soil is unique with a strong terroir uniformity. This beautiful alluvial terrace is clearly defined and endlessly exposed to the powerful Mistral wind.

Grapes

60 % Grenache noir
30 % Syrah
10 % Mourvèdre

Tasting notes

At Marrenon, we like these well-balanced expressions, where the impression of substance is very present. We seek to refine it as much as possible to create sensations in the mouth marked by softness and velvetiness.
We have sought to reinforce the expressions of Syrah which brings spicy notes with a touch of Mourvèdre, which reinforce and complexify the traditional style of Grenache and its procession of very ripe fruits.

Sommelier Advices

Serve at 14°C. This red wine will perfectly accompany a gardiane of bull or a leg of lamb.
