Terre brune
On the black and brown terroirs of Schistes in Maury, the grenache gets an exceptionnal expression, while it creates wines in one time rich, powerful and elegant.
A touch of the old Carignan suits the Tannin structure, the Syrah completes the aroma palette, while garding the characteristics of the grenache.

Comments from the Æenologue
Intense violet color with black tints, powerful aroma of the Mediterranen Garrigue also blending with notes of spices, vanille, toast, and very matured red fruits.
In the mouth, the attack is frank, notes of red fruits sourrounded by liquorice, vanille and grill. The Tannins strong and well founded. A wine from the south opulent and aftersought.


With leg of Lamb, Game, Beef or roasted Duck breast.
