Tasting Notes
The wine typically shows a deep garnet core with vivid ruby reflections in its youth. Aromatically, expect a layered bouquet of ripe dark berries, red cherry, garrigue herbs, pepper, and subtle floral and savory notes, often with a touch of spice and earthiness. On the palate, it is usually full-bodied and harmonious, combining Grenache’s generous fruit with Syrah’s structure and Mourvèdre’s depth. The texture is generous yet balanced, with fine tannins and a long, persistent finish. Thanks to the magnum format and the estate’s style, it has excellent aging potential and should evolve beautifully over many years.

Production
Produced in Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the southern Rhône, the wine reflects a warm Mediterranean terroir marked by sun-drenched vineyards, galets roulés, and well-drained soils that help concentrate flavor and preserve balance. The grapes are typically harvested with careful selection to ensure full ripeness, then vinified traditionally with an emphasis on preserving freshness, purity, and varietal expression before maturation in a way that respects the wine’s natural structure.

Food & Serving
This is a superb match for roast lamb, beef tenderloin, game birds, slow-braised meats, and herb-driven Mediterranean dishes. It also pairs well with mature hard cheeses and dishes featuring mushrooms or black olives. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if opening young to allow the aromatics and structure to open fully.
