Skillfully blended to create this wine which is made up of 75% Mourvèdre combined with Grenache, Cinsault and a hint of old Carignan. This fruity, well-balanced wine can be enjoyed after 3 or 4 years, but develops extremely pleasant tertiary aromas with further aging. The wine’s balance gives it an aging potential of 15 years or more.

The Cuvée Classique blend combines grapes from the estate’s different terroirs. In the area known as ‘Le Petit Moulin de la Cadière’, named after its windmill, the vines grow on south-facing terraces stretching out over hilly terrain. The soil in this part of the vineyard is characterized by the presence of fossilized seashells. Clay is found to varying depths throughout the estate’s soil and, although the clay is quite dense, alluvial layers comprised of silt-sand sediment deposits are also present. One might think these looser layers in the soil would have little influence on the wine, but in fact, they provide excellent drainage which helps to produce very refined wines.
