The Great Breakaways
In our quest to find remarkable terroirs in our region of the Rhône Valley, we were won over by the personality of this appellation. There is a strong unity to the area, the soil is unique, this beautiful terrace of gravel deposits is well-defined, permanently exposed to the influence of the Mistral wind, which is particularly powerful here.
60 % Grenache noir
30 % Syrah
10 % Mourvèdre
Traditional vinification using destemmed grapes. Maceration between 15 and 21 days depending on the grape variety. Little extraction work, free-run juice only.
Aged on fine lees
The nose reveals notes of fresh red fruit (raspberry, blackcurrant) which are echoed on the palate to reveal sensations marked by softness and velvety texture.
We have sought to enhance the expression of the Syrah grapes, which bring spicy notes (white pepper) with a touch of Mourvèdre, reinforcing and adding complexity to the traditional Grenache style and its procession of very ripe fruit. The whole is well-balanced, with plenty of sweetness and freshness.
Serve at 14°C.
