..........................................
Surface area: 10 hectares.
Districts: Marzas (Drôme),
Malleval (Loire).
Grape varieties: 100 % Syrah.
Soils: Sandy.
Yield: 50-55 hl/ha.
This vineyard is planted in the plain of
the Drôme around the Crozes-Hermitage
appellation and on the granite plateaus
overlooking the Saint-Joseph appellation. The
soils are especially adapted to vine-growing.
They produce fresh and supple wines that
are typical of the northern part of the Rhone
Valley. Maturing
..........................................
In vats or in casks for 6 months.
The wine is matured on lees in vats in
order for the tannins to become more
supple, thereby combining well with the
fruitiness offered by the Syrah grape variety.
Strawberry, raspberry, black currant and
red currant aromas come to the fore. In its
youth this wine exhales very fresh and very
pleasant notes.
