The other wine to be made by the Domaine back in 2014 even before it was inaugurated. A blend of 60% Syrah, 30% Grenache & 10% Carignan with a stainless steel fermentation & 100% of the blend aged in oak barrels for 12 months before bottling. Deep and intense dark color, lots of black fruit aromas, with smoke and toasted nuances. Fresh on the palate with more spice & red fruits with fine tannins and a robust structure. Ideal marriage with red meats such as spicy lamb dishes of lamb & duck.
Region
The Southern Rhône Valley is a renowned wine region located in the southeastern part of France. It is one of the most important wine-producing areas in the country and is famous for its diverse range of high-quality wines. The region stretches along the course of the Rhône River, covering several departments in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regions.
AOP Luberon is a wine appellation located in the southeastern region of France, specifically in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region. The area encompasses a picturesque landscape characterized by rolling hills, olive groves, and vineyards. The appellation is named after the Luberon mountain range, which serves as a backdrop to the vineyards.
The climate in Luberon is Mediterranean, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild winters, which is conducive to grape cultivation. The terroir, which includes limestone and clay soils, also contributes to the distinctive character of the wines produced here.
Climate & Terroir
The region experiences a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters. The proximity to the Mont Ventoux and the Mistral wind influence the local climate, helping to cool down the vineyards during the warm growing season and promote a healthy environment for the grapevines.
The AOP Luberon enjoys a unique climate and terroir that give its wines their distinctive freshness and balance. Nestled between the Vaucluse Mountains and the Alps of Haute-Provence, the region benefits from a Mediterranean climate tempered by significant Alpine and continental influences. Warm, sunny days are followed by cool nights, allowing grapes to ripen slowly and develop vibrant aromatics while preserving acidity. The mistral wind helps keep the vineyards healthy and dry, reducing the need for treatments.
The terroir is equally diverse, made up of limestone, clay, and sandy soils that provide excellent drainage and mineral character. Vineyards often sit at higher altitudes compared to other Rhône Valley appellations, contributing to the remarkable freshness and elegance found in Luberon wines. This harmony of sunshine, altitude, and soil diversity results in wines that are expressive, balanced, and full of southern charm with a refined, cooler edge.
Ideal drinking temperature 15°C.
