With a vivacious ruby appearance, this has a beautifully delicate yet complex perfume of peppered raspberries, red cherry and an understated southern French 'garrigue' (wild herb) character. On the palate, it is consummately soft and succulent, with super-fine tannins and fresh acidity; both of which provide definition, structure and refreshment value, making the wine ever so enjoyable to drink now and over the next 3-4 years. Proprietor, Cécile Dusserre, has a passion for classical dance, so it is no surprise that the wines she handcrafts have sublime poise, balance and elegance.

Winemaking
The Syrah for this cuvée is planted on sandy soils, giving elegance rather than raw power, whereas the Grenache is on stones. Organic methods are used, without pesticides and herbicides. The space between rows is ploughed. The grapes are picked slightly earlier than many other producers in the appellation as the estate wants to avoid any overripe characters. 90% destemming, natural yeasts, cold soak followed by warm fermentation with no active moving of the cap, just rack and return "it's more like an infusion". Fermentation in stainless steel followed by maturation in concrete. Bottled on fruit days.
