This Châteauneuf-du-Pape, composed of Grenache and Mourvèdre, is sourced from sandy soils within "Le Clos" near "La Guigasse." Harvest began with hand-picking and meticulous sorting. The grapes were de-stemmed and fermented in concrete tanks using wild yeasts, with techniques like pump-overs and manual punch-downs during a 40-day maceration. The wine aged for 14 months, with 90% in demi-muids (600L) of varying ages and 10% in a terracotta amphora (500L), resulting in a beautifully crafted and nuanced wine.
