A blend of old-vine Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre planted on the region's 'galets roulés' – large, smooth pebbles that absorb warmth during the day to keep the vines warm at night. Vinified and aged in concrete tanks, it has a dense but sappy black fruit palate, great acid structure and a lifted, leafy red fruit perfume.
