Grand Marrenon

Soil :

Plots selected on the characteristic terroirs of Luberon, composed of clay, limestone and plebby scree slopes. The vines are more than 30-year old.

Grapes :

Syrah, Grenache noir

Harvest and Vinification :

Grapes harvested late September, completely de-stemmed (not crushed). Long Vatting for 3 to 5 weeks according to the plots. The ageing is done in French oak barrels. 30% of new barrels,70% of 1 year old barrels.

Tasting notes :

A nice and intense violin-ruby red robe which is typical of a strong concentration. The nose is expressive, fruity and very pleasing with ripe/jammy fruits and blond tobacco notes. In mouth, sweet attack with dominant fresh fruits.  Nice amplitude thanks to intense aromas, kept up with concentrated tannins which are well structured and integrated, not aggressive at all. A rich and silky unit.

Sommelier advices :

Best served at 18°C, and put in decanter 3 hours before tasting. Great companion for a beef rib or game. Wine for ageing to drink within 10 years.
