Planted on the clay-limestone soils of the Garrigues, where the water retention of the clay plays an important part in a year like 2017. The fruit is whole-bunch pressed, fermented in demi-muid, then kept on the lees for 12 months with stirring towards the end. Peach and apricot notes are joined by a pleasant nutty sheen. This is full-bodied and rounded, but with good energy and brightness of flavour, leading to a long, clean, dry finish despite a touch of sweetness to the fruit thanks to the sensitive use of oak.
