Hand-harvested, macerated in stainless steel tanks, fermented at low temperature, then aged for 12 months in demi-muids (600-liter barrels) that have held several wines to preserve purity, before 8 to 9 months of blending in tanks. The nose unfolds with aromas of blackberry and smoky licorice, black pepper, and smoky nuances typical of the Cévennes region.
