Présentation
Présentation
The Family’s other Châteauneuf! This cuvée comes from the young vines at Beaucastel and from a neighboring vineyard that we farm.
Le millésime
This 2017 vintage will be remembered as the year of all records: the driest year in 30 years, non-interventionist vineyard work, optimal harvest conditions, a very small yield due to climatic hazards, and wines with very rich potential.
Situation
Wine made from the young vines at Beaucastel, a vineyard that we farm just to the west of Beaucastel.
Terroir
Molasse seabed of the Miocene period covered by diluvial alpine deposits (pebbles).
Élevage
Partly vinified like in Beaucastel and partly vinified in the traditional way after destemming. 100% Foudres for a year. Bottled after fining and light filtration.

Dégustation
Elegant and intense Ruby-red colour. The nose is delicate, with notes of red fruit, chocolate and sweet spices. Perfectly balanced, the silky mouth develops aromas of strawberries and ripe plums and finishes with a beautiful length.
