The 2024 vintage in Southern Rhône benefited from a mild winter and a rainy spring, encouraging early budbreak. The temperate summer allowed for gradual ripening, resulting in lovely freshness, especially in the whites and rosés. The reds, driven by structured Syrah and concentrated Grenaches, are both rich and well-balanced.

Terroir
This cuvée is made from a blend of old vine Grenache (over 40 years old) and Syrah (over 20 years old). The Grenache is grown in soils on short valley on a hillside on limestone rock dominated by sand and stones. The Syrah comes from warm soils covered by pebbles on the Laudun plain.
In summary:
Minerality of the hillsides.
Result of the rolled pebbles.
