- WINEMAKER: Laurence Féraud
- FARMING: Organic practices, not certified
- VARIETY: A blend dominated by Grenache (80%), with Syrah, Mourvèdre, and other permitted varieties
- TERROIR: Sourced from old vines planted on the iconic galets roulés (large, round stones) and limestone soils, which retain heat and promote even ripening
- VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested, fermented with native yeasts in traditional concrete vats, with minimal intervention. No destemming, contributing to the wines robust structure
- AGING: Aged for 18-24 months in large, old oak foudres, allowing the wine to develop complexity while maintaining its powerful fruit core
