Terre des Sages

AOC Grignan-les-Adhémar
Terroir :
This cuvée is made from vines that are 48 years old. They flourish on a chalky clay soil entirely covered with rolled pebbles. The vines are all trellised and the yields are low: 35hl / Ha.
Vinification :
The grapes are picked at full maturity. The cuvée Terre des Sages is vinified in thermo-regulated concrete vats. The vatting and maceration take place over 3 weeks.

Blend :
This cuvée is a blend of 95% Syrah and 5% Grenache.
Tasting :
Deep red with purple reflection. Powerful nose developing aromas of red fruits and spices. On the palate, spices blend with cherry aromas.

Cellaring potential :
from 2 to 6 years.
