Terroir
The vineyard of Prébois has clayey limestone soils covered with stones. In Vinsobres the terraces are rich in quartz and marl limestone.
Ageing
After the harvest is sorted and destemmed, vinification takes place in stainless steel and oak. Ageing occurs in tanks and Foudre 25% of the year.

Reviews
"This wine is a perfect example of the region’s tradition of using small amounts of Syrah and Mourvèdre grapes to deepen the flavor and darken the color of a Grenache-based wine, which results in flavors that evoke not just ripe blackberries, but also the peppery scent of spiced, cured meats like soppressata salami."
