About the wine: From a selection of M.Chapoutier's oldest vines in Saint-Joseph. The grapes are 100% destemmed. Slow fermentation in small concrete vats. The process of fermentation is very long and lasts for more than one month, to polymerize tannins. Only the free-run wine is used in this single vineyard. Entirely aged in casks (new casks and casks having matured wine once or twice before) from 16 to 18 months.
