The blend of 52% Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, more typical in the cooler northern hills of Provence, contributes black fruit, structure and spice. 28% Grenache contributes red fruit. The three different grape varieties are harvested at the top of their maturity. After being destemmed and without crushing alcoholic fermentation occurs in open wooden tanks. One release will be done once a day during the fermentation process. When all the sugar is transformed, a maceration period occurs for several days. After pressing the wine is racked in stainless steel tanks. The varietals are aged separately for 7 months before being blended and bottled in August.
