Domaine Pertiane - Les Safres, AOC Vacqueyras, Rouge, 2022

Presentation

Presentation
Owned by the Bres family for three generations, Domaine la Pertiane has more than 25 hectares of old Grenache and young Syrah vines. The name comes comes from a large rock formation, the Rocher de la Pertiane. The vines grow on slopes at the foot of Safre Hill, where former quarries bear witness to the area’s outstanding geological complexity. This sandy terroir blended with river stones produces an unusual wine that is voluptuous in a unique way.
Terroir
This wine’s rich taste comes from the rocky and sandy soil of the garrigue.
