Presentation
Property of the Girard family for 3 generations, the estate is now run by Paul, also President of the Cave de Rasteau, and his son Lucas.
The vintage
This year’s climatic events have upset the work of our winegrowers. Frost, hail & rains did not spare the region. This vintage will be remembered for being atypical, but also for resulting in qualitative, fresh, lush and tasty wines with limited volumes.
Terroir
The parcels selected for this cuvée have been planted the year Paul was born. The vines flourish on hills made of blue marls from the Pliocene era.
Winemaking
Manual harvest. At the arrival in the cellar, each grape variety is vinifed separately in concrete vats. After fermentation at controlled temperatures (28-30°C)., maceration lasts around 20 days.
