The vineyard is filled with the finest Syrah grapes, which have been conditioned for decades in the rich soil structure. This allows the plants to easily absorb moisture and withstand the intense sun. Located in the Saint-Chinian region, the vineyard is characterized by powerful wines. Once the grapes have reached full ripeness, they are harvested by hand in the early morning and immediately transported to Cessenon, the town where this wine is made. After pressing, the wine is aged for fourteen months in both new and used oak barrels. This is truly a wine we will never forget. What a powerhouse!
