These soils, certified organic since 2010 and partially biodynamic since 2003, contribute to the wine’s silky texture and finesse. Hand-harvested grapes are destemmed, sorted, and fermented in concrete vats with indigenous yeasts, followed by aging in stainless steel and large foudres for 12-15 months to preserve fruit purity. This sustainable approach captures the 2024 vintage’s balance of ripeness and freshness, resulting in a wine that rivals many Châteauneuf-du-Pape cuvées, reflecting the domaine’s reputation for exceptional Côtes du Rhône expressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"auto\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThis Côtes du Rhône displays a bright ruby hue with aromas of strawberry, cherry, and raspberry, accented by hints of black pepper, thyme, and garrigue herbs.
