The wine

This cuvée is made from a single grape variety that reigns supreme here on the estate: Carignan. The very old vines (100 years) responsible for this cuvée result in wines with a purple shade. The nose offers aromas of dark fruits and animal notes while the wine stands out on the palate with flavours of ripe berries. Elegant tannins allow it to be kept for several years.
