No synthetic treatments are used in the vineyard and the estate is managed in accordance with biodynamic principles. The Grenache Noir vines are over 40 years old, North-West facing at an altitude of 530 m. The Syrah vines are 30 years old, South-West facing at 540 m on stoney clay and limestone soil.

The wine is then transferred to concrete tanks using the flow of gravity and then transferred to French Oak for an ageing period of 18 months. Tasting notes : Deep garnet red.
