40 year old Grenache vines grown on sandy soil of lieu-dit Pignan, hand harvested, maceration for 18 days with remontage, aged for 12 months in French oak foudres.

Intense, lifted aromas of ripe red berries, concentrated, plush fruit on the palate with a finesse and balance typical of Grenache grown on sandy soil. Seductive tannic structure with a long, fresh finish.
