The combination of grape-variety and Mediterranean climate with our terroirs and the freshness and delicacy of altitude, makes the singularity of our wines.

Respecting Rhône Valley traditions, confirmed by several centuries of vines’ culture, our vineyard is naturally planted in Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Cinsault and Clairette grape varieties.

Grenache

First grape-variety planted by my grand father on domain Romane and La Machotte, Grenache constitutes presently our oldest vines. It is the main grape variety of Southern RhôneValley, well adapted to our Mediterranean climate. In the great terroirs of “local appellations (crus)”, it proved itself to be extraordinary; and it is the case on our clay limestone soils in altitude. Over the years, I remain persuaded that a very big proportion of this grape variety is essential for structuring our cuvées promised to a long ageing. Its aromatic expression varies according to the age of the wine and the vintage. After notes of black fruits (cherry) appear aromas of crystallized red fruits (plumb) notes of garrigue (thyme, rosemary, sage) with always a spiced final (black pepper, clove).
