Superbes vignes centenaires de grenache gris (80 %), grenache noir et carignan sur terroir de schistes à Banyuls, vinification en macération semi-carbonique avec fermentation en cuve bois tronconique, puis élevage en barrique et demi-muid.

A white wine from a cool terroir in Banyuls (300 m altitude, north facing), with Grenache gris and blanc from old vines (80 years old) vinified by direct press and a complement (20%) of Carignan gris and blanc from young vines vinified in short carbonic maceration. Aged in old barrels.

Beyond the Arabic spelling of its label ("Grenache"), a selection of the most beautiful Grenache vines of the estate, representative of Jean-François Nicq's vision of the grape variety. 

Old Grenache vines (+ 15% Carignan) on the D'en Paillol hill in Maury, on clay-limestone and black schist soil, vinification partly in whole bunches in half-muid and stainless steel vats, aged in half-muid and barrels.

From a purchase of beautiful grapes selected with great care, a Syrah vinified and and aged in barrels.

Partially destemmed, a Grenache cuvée entirely dedicated to the expression of fruit and the silkiness of the grape variety.
