Farmed biodynamically, this vineyard has contributed greatly to the "rebirth" of the once forgotten carignan grape, now appreciated for its characteristic freshness and fruit. Aging potential: 5 to 10 years. Please open the bottle at least two hours in advance and pour a taste in a glass then let the wine breathe in the bottle. Serve slightly above 60 degrees. Very pleasant. You will sip it and then sip some more and it will all be gone too soon.
This biodynamically farmed vineyard lies at the heart of the property at an altitude of 180 meters.
