This cuvée is crafted in the historic surroundings of Prieuré Saint-Jean de Bébian, offering a refined interpretation of the Mediterranean terroir, where sun, wind, and limestone soils shape wines of character and depth. The 2024 vintage emphasizes precision and purity of fruit, reflecting the estate's commitment to respectful viticulture and meticulous cellar work. While some sources indicate it's a blend of Mediterranean grapes like Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, another specifies it as 100% Syrah from a single vineyard plot planted in 1966, aged for 12 months in foudres. 【Embodiment of the new face of Southern France, showcasing a refined interpretation of Mediterranean terroir with a focus on precision and purity of fruit】.
