The wine offers a beautifully complex nose with powerful aromas of ripe red fruits, including cherry and raspberry, blended with spicy notes of black pepper and licorice, alongside subtle hints of scrubland. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a silky texture and fine, flavorful tannins, culminating in a long, elegant finish. Blend: 80% Grenache noir, 5% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre, 5% Cinsault, 5% Counoise

Dark and powerful, this makes a bold statement on the full-bodied palate, but unlike so many 2022 Chateauneufs it doesn't edge in the rich and creamy direction. It has a cornucopia of black fruit, black olive and tar aromas. Major tannins, but they are very fine and give the finish energy and drive as well as structure. A cuvee based on old-vine grenache with syrah, mourvedre and counoise from biodynamically grown grapes. Matured almost exclusively in concrete tanks. Drink or hold.
