Capella

Soil

The vineyard stretches along the southern slopes of the Ventoux appellation, on calcareous gravel and calcareous sandstone soils: these soils are quite deep, which gives them good resistance to drought.
The vineyards are part of the "Sélections Parcellaires": many criteria are taken into consideration such as demanding trellising, low vigor, exposure of the grapes to the light, age of the vines.

Grapes

90 % Syrah
10 % Grenache noir

Harvest and Vinification

The harvest always takes place late in the season.
The skins of the berries are soft so that they can macerate for at least 3 weeks, giving the wine a certain power, but with a great impression of smoothness. Free-run juice only, 10% aged in barrels.

10% are aged in barrels, before being reassembled with the other parts.

Tasting notes

On the nose, we perceive aromas of cherries, blackcurrant, spices, all enhanced by a beautiful expression of graphite.
The mouth gives a sensation of fullness, carried by full but well integrated tannins.
