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
2024 has been full of weather challenges. Spring brought disease pressure, summer droughts reduced yields, and heavy rains in September added to the difficulties. Even so, the great quality of the wines reflects the skill, dedication, and great adaptability of our Artisans winegrowers and winemakers.
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
Grenache, Syrah & Cinsault are vinifed separately in concrete vats. Fermentation at controlled temperatures (28-30°C). Maceration lasts around 20 days.

Tasting
A perfect example of the typicity of Rasteau: beautiful dark color; notes of spices and ripe fruit on the nose. The mouth is rich and deep with longlasting aromas of red fruits and soft tanins.
