This cuvée comes from one of the best parcels: L'Ombrée. 
It faces north in the middle of the slope, under the cliff of Pic Saint Loup. The scree soil of limestone chips is well-drained. The vine in a cool and humid climate does not suffer from summer drought, where aged Syrah grows well. This results in obtaining a beautiful maturity combining elegance and an excellent balance between quality of tannins, acidity and aromas.
