The 2022 vintage was characterised by a very dry winter, with the vegetative cycle of the vines resuming very early in March. Spring saw abundant flowering, but was marked in June by severe hail in and around Laudun, which affected many plots. The summer was very dry, resulting in a high-quality harvest, with beautifully aromatic rosés, reds with high tannin potential and rich, flavoursome whites.
Presentation
Presentation
For this cuvée, we choose the very best grapes at the foot of Caesar’sCamp. It
illustrates the passion and technical prowess of our winegrowers because it is their hands that craft this wine with its subtle aromas of red berries, spices and liquorice.
In the past, the Romans stored their wine in large amphoras called Dolia.
This cuvée pays tribute to this ancestral know-how.

This cuvée is made from a selection of the oldest and best parcels of Syrah and Grenache grown on the slopes of Camp de César. The soils are poor, predominately clay limestone and sandstone. The yields are naturally limited with berries rich in colour, aromas and tannins.
Winemaking
100% classic vinification (destemmed and crushed grapes), fermentation at 25°C and regular supply of oxygen during vinification. Long period cold maceration for one month with punch-down of the cap followed by traditional vinification. A careful selection enhances the quality and potential of this cuvée.
