2020 is an early vintage with impressive ripeness and exceptionally healthy grapes. After the substantial fall rains, the soil's water reserves were fully recharged. The dry summer led to a great concentration in the berries, and the light early September showers secured a harvest at peak maturity.

This parcel selection comes from "Trias", one of the 3 emblematic terroirs of the appellation (230M years old). The 40-years old vines (on average) are locatef at 300m high on gypsum & red clay, giving its beautiful ochre colour to the soil and ensuring a strady supply of water.

Manual harvest took place from 3rd to 15th Sept. Perfectly ripe grapes are destemmed, crushed, put into vat and fermented at controlled temperatures (28-30°C). Rack and return, as well as regular aeration of the must develop smooth and silky tannins. Ageing 12 months in oak barrels for 50% of the blend.
