Wine description
Located upstream of the Pitrous valley, at the foot of the famous Cabrières schist outcrops, the plot known as Plantabelle enjoys an exceptional pedo-climatic situation. Situated on the heights of the village at 150 m altitude, this plot benefits from optimal sunshine and constant natural ventilation. Set within a forested environment where holm oak grows alongside downy oak — a sign of a temperate Mediterranean climate — this plot is planted with old vines of Grenache noir (70%) and Syrah (30%).
The soils, composed of colluvial schist, are well-draining and allow deep rooting while moderating the vigour of the vines.
Old vines, grape varieties adapted to the terroir, soils that regulate rainfall variations, low yields, biodynamic viticulture, perfect health conditions and polyphenol maturity as the trigger for manual harvesting are the essential elements that contribute to the typicity of this cuvée.

Food & Wine pairings suggested by our chef
This wine pairs well with a wild boar terrine,
stuffed squab, a Royale-style hare
or a truffle Brie.
Winemaking and ageing
Harvested by hand and transferred to the winery in small crates, the grapes are vatted after destemming. Grapes of fine ripeness release their potential in colour, aromatic and phenolic compounds through maceration of variable duration depending on the vintage (7 to 10 days). At the end of winter, the wines are aged in barrels for 12 months. Release takes place after one year of bottle ageing.
Tasting note
Dark and purplish robe in its youth,
lightens and takes on a tawny hue with age.
An olfactory expression dominated by ripe
fruits, notes of Garrigue and menthol.
On the palate, density and elegance characterise
this cuvée.
A finish of silky tannins with a beautiful
aromatic persistence and complexity, where
notes of black fruits, liquorice and
roasting intertwine.
Storage
Keep away from sunlight and at a constant temperature
