It is impossible to give the exact blend proportions of this vintage, which comes from « collection vineyards » where numerous grape varieties are planted together. Centenarians Grenache, Vaccarèse, Counoise, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Terret Noir and Muscardin. All the Châteauneuf du Pape terroirs are represented in this cuvée, for a great complexity and a beautiful minerality.

The exceptional quality of the 2016 vintage made sorting useless on most of the plots. Traditional vinification with a long maceration of nearly a month.
