Sourced from the lower terraced lands of the northern part of Vacqueyras, from the blue and yellow clay on the plateau des Garrigues which was planted in the 1950’s with a density of 10,000 plants per hectare. Also some from a plot in ‘Pendants’ with blue and yellow clay soil which gives richness and depth and a more silky texture to the wine. Using whole bunches the wine goes through a very gentle maceration, which he describes as more like an infusion before maturing for 18 months in large cement tanks. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration.
