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.
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.

"A lively wine with notes of candied raspberries, strawberries with a frehness and rich, round savoury palate. Extending finish."
