Origins of the cuvée


The Chapel, a French listed monument with foundations dating back to the 8th century, a sacred place of prayer for the monks.

Localisation

The vineyards are located between the Uchaux hills and the Plan de Dieu appellation.

Grape varietals

Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan.

Vinification and maturing

The grapes come from selected plots in which they are able to reach full maturity verging on over-ripeness. Tannin extraction is monitored daily in order to obtain a wine with accomplished structure without any aggressiveness.

Tasting notes

Visual: Deep red in colour.
Nose: Soft floral and a hint of freshly churned butter.
Palate: Flavours of black fruit are discernible from the start. Full-bodied tannic structure enhanced by lovely hints of spice and impressive length.

Food and wine pairing

Serve at 17°C with all types of red and white meats, whether roasted, grilled or stewed. Also pairs well with cheeses.
