Terroir

PLANTING DATE: 1974

LOCATION: Le Claux lieu-dit, situated at an altitude of 300-350 meters. This late-ripening terroir allows for slow and gradual grape maturation.

SOIL: A exceptionally rare soil type in the Luberon, composed of blue marl dating from the PLIOCENE epoch, conferring outstanding qualitative potential to the wine.

AGING: 30 months in 600-liter oak demi-muids and concrete tanks

BOTTLING: October 2023, without fining or filtration

CLOSURE: Natural cork

Sommelier's Note

"Remarkably powerful and full-bodied, the 2021 vintage stands out with an intense nose where dark fruit aromas meet elegant chocolate mint accents. On the palate, the dense texture unfolds with nobility, supported by a silky structure and seamlessly integrated fine tannins. A great wine for cellaring, perfect for lovers of deep, structured cuvées—deserving a stay in the cellar or a two-hour decanting to reveal its full potential!"
