Translucent dark purple.
The nose combines glamour and elegance, with notes of black cherry jam, blackberry cream, incense and sweet spices.
The mouth is slender, whilst deploying a dense, velvety and envelopping matter with tannins that start to show. They are still gaining power in a fresh and expressive finish, with intense black cherry and spicy cocoa that eventually take
over.
Pairing: Nothing better than with a nice cut of red meat.

Vinification:

grapes are vinified separately.
Harvesting is completely manual, between 6614lbs and 9921lbs per day, the healthy grapes are directly sorted from the others in the vines before
transportation to the cellar as soon as the harvest reaches 3307lbs to avoid damaging them, sorted once again upon arrival at the cellar.
La Garrigue and Camp de l’Argent:
The grapes are vinified destemmed, extraction by load shedding at the beginning of fermentation, then by infusing the marc during the middle of fermentation; no reassembly, nor pigeage, nor shedding.
Les Dolmens:
100% are vinified whole harvest. One pumping over
process per day to wet the whole bunches only 25hl of Grenache is vinified destemmed.
For each of the 3 different locations, once fermentation is complete, juices and presses are assembled. When the wines have finished with the sugar, they are assembled for Malo.
