Origine is made from the old vines of our estate. It is a powerful wine while being elegant and very refined. It will surprise you with its youth, even for the oldest vintages, and offers great aging potential, while being ready to be enjoyed right now as well. This wine is made from a majority of old Grenaches, nearly 70 years old, blended delicately before bottling with our secondary grape varieties, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and sometimes even Carignan or Cinsault. We have made a point of maturing it for at least 24 months in bottles on the estate, to offer you a perfect drinkability during your tasting.
Elegance and sobriety. The 13th century sheepfold has regained its Provençal patina and the adjoining cottage looks like something out of a postcard. On the cellar side, the technology and the Italian design are of the most beautiful effect. Built according to the Toyota system (analyze, design hierarchically by eliminating the superfluous), it is shaped like an arena. Above, the cellar, reception room, lounge and restaurant space in the making are integrated into the heart of the vineyard.
In the heart of the Vacqueyras scrublands, rooted in steep terrasses composed of alluvial pebbles. The vines average 70 years of age, and are tended naturally without weed killers or pesticides, producing a wine shaped by its distinctive terroir. Handpicked and sorted, 100% destemmed. Cold maceration of 48 to 72h prior to a 3-week fermentation with no added yeasts nor enzymes. No oak treatment and aged in concrete vessels for months before blending and bottling.
