La Cuvée Imperiale is from our oldest vines, most of them 100 years old (planted in 1901-1902.) Extremely low yields (16-18 h/h) guarantee a wine that is dense and profound. The ancient Grenache vines bring to this cuvee their finesse and elegance. Will age for dozens of years. To be carafed during the first years. Because it is bottled without any filtration, some sediment – natural and beneficial to the aging process is possible.
Three parcels, one in Pialons, one in Girardette, and one in Grand Pierre. Field blend of 90+% Grenache and the balance the other 12 varietals. Aged 100% in concrete tanks from minuscule yields (average 15hl/ha) is Burgundian-like for its floral minerality and complexity on the palate.
