Presentation
This huge rock, called La Pierre du Diable, or “Devil’s Rock”, overlooks a small chapel near the town of Carpentras, not far from Avignon. According to the legend, it has three claw marks left by the devil, when he wanted to destroy the chapel, which was finally saved by the Virgin Mary.
The vintage
This year has been particularly unpredictable in terms of weather. From the pressure of spring diseases to summer droughts affecting yields, and heavy rains in September, our partner winegrowers have faced significant challenges. Thanks to their expertise and adaptability, they succeeded in harvesting grapes of outstanding quality, paving the way for an exceptional vintage in the Rhône Valley.
Terroir
La Pierre du Diable is made from grapes grown on three different types of soil, which explain its unique personality and suave flavours: hills with light sandy soil; slopes with a mix of sandstone and sand sediment; rocky terraces.
Winemaking
Light pressing and cold fermentation to preserve the aromas. Vinification in stainless steel tanks and early bottling to keep fresh and crispy aromas of red fruits.
