After a dry winter, with the soil mineralising under the best possible conditions, the early spring was marked by frosts which had a severe impact on the Côtes du Rhône vineyards. Despite this, the terroirs of Maison Sinnae were relatively spared, which enabled the vegetative cycle to get underway with average earliness. The rather rainy spring gave rise to abundant flowering. This produced fresh, taut rosés, powerful, tannic reds and an exceptional white vintage.

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.

Terroir
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.

Reviews
"A rich and textured red with dark cherries, mixed berries, dried herbs and baking spices. Medium body with creamy tannins. Dusty texture on the palate with some dark chocolate character towards the finish. Drink or hold."
