    The vineyard is located 20km northeast of Montpellier on clay-limestone soil with rolled pebbles. This sloping plot varies between 50 and 150 meters in altitude and is subject to a maritime climate. Rhône grape varieties (Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Marsanne, Roussanne) reign supreme.

    Vinification and aging

    The winemaking process is traditionally carried out in wooden vats with a separation of the grape varieties.
    Maceration for 35 to 50 days.
