This estate covers 13 hectares of vines and 1.5 hectares of fruit and olive trees. The vineyard has been organically certified since 1989 (Ecocert) and biodynamically farmed since 2008 (Demeter certified). The estate is all within Rasteau territory, the vines being between 30 and 100 years old. Production is low at between 10 to 15 hl/ha. The varieties are too wide ranging to conform to Rasteau AOC legislature so the wine is declassified but this blending of co-grown grapes Jérôme believes creates a natural harmony, a synergy being created during flowering. These are Grenache Noir, Carignan, Mourvèdre, Shiraz, Counoise, Cinsault, Vaccarèse and Terret
"This was super from the outset, presenting a rather debauched nose, combining pepper and savoury notes, blueberries, black cherry and spice. The palate echoes these aromatics. Balance at this estate is exemplary. Nothing is jagged or edgy in these wines, despite being true to vintage. They are all about finesse and elegance – lovely wine.
