Quercus

Terroir: Our most valuable parcels on the northern slope of the lesser Luberon range down by the village of Oppède-le-Vieux. 30-year-old Syrah vines and 60-year-old Grenache goblets. Limited yields on clay-limestone soils with some alluvium pebbles.

Vinification: Traditional vinification in concrete tanks, after plot selection.

Aging: Aged during 24 months in new oak barrels only (300 & 500 liters).

Tasting: Deep garnet robe, with ruby tints. Complex oaky nose, garnished with morello cherry and spicy flavours. Highly concentrated on the palate, the oak comes through with strong tannins and a good balance between structure and flavour.
