Côtes du Roussillon Villages AOC, black Grenache (60 %), Syrah (30 %) and Carignan (10 %). An old vineyard planted on a soil shaley, south exposure at 300 metres of altitude. This wine reveals a powerful and complex nose with very ripe fruit aromas. The mouth is silky and voluminous, with the tannins present but flexible. It will brilliantly on the prepared dishes slightly doses in spices, on a rack of lamb with herbs, on a tournedos... and on cheese. Serve at 15°.
