Grape varieties: grenache to round off the wine and give it body, strength and bouquet; cinsault for its finesse, fullness and silky elegance; syrah to give the wine color and a touch of licorice.

The grapes are all hand-picked, followed by strict and selective sorting and an extremely delicate pressing process to extract the best of the pulp.

No maceration: direct pressing with short skin contact.

Fermentation is done in thermo-regulated vats followed by aging in oak casks from 6-9 months. No malolactic fermentation.

Stringent cultivation techniques are practiced using natural fertilizers along with manual debudding for limited volume yields.

The grapes are all hand-picked, followed by strict and selective sorting. Extremely delicate pressing extracts the best of the grapes and color; there is short skin contact in the press.

Slow fermentation takes place followed by 8-12 months aging in oak casks for the Blanc, and in vats for the Rosé. Bottling is done the following spring.

The parcels for the production of the Blanc slope down as far as the sea and are leveled into espaliers to enable even tilling and planting.
