Product Overview
Importer Notes
"First made by Cécile’s father in 1998, this is the top wine. Vines average more than 65-years of age and are hand-harvested. This cuvée is a selection of the best vats following the alcoholic fermentation and is raised almost all in barrel (20% new) over a period of eight to ten months. Normally spontaneous ferments with whole clusters, no fining, and a very light filtration. Production averages 350 cases."

94 Points - Wine Enthusiast
"Captivating whiffs of fur, leather, clove and smoke mingle into high-toned blackberry and cherry in this supple, perfumed blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Made from whole clusters of old vines averaging 65 years, it's a deeply complex wine that deftly balances luminous fruit against earth and spice tones. Gorgeous already, the wine should improve through 2030 and hold further." -ALCI, 9/1/2020
