Winemaker Note
The grape composition is just over 50% Grenache, while the rest is divided between Syrah, Mourvèdre and a little Carignan, which after almost a month of maceration and fermentation is stored for a year in both large barrels and tanks – completely like their Mas de Boislauzon Chateuneuf ‘Tradition’. Simply, the maceration has not been so harsh, so this is a wine that is somewhat more kind-hearted as a young person. However, this is really ‘Southern Rhônevin’, which is masculine and typical of the place – not sweet and soft!
Aroma and taste reveal a characterful, healthy, juicy and tightly packed wine that has a balanced blend of red and dark fruit with black olives, Provence herbs and a slight medicinal undertone towards carnations. Great fullness harmonizes with the structure of the wine, so nothing seems flooded despite the wine’s considerable corpus.
