The wine is aromatic and delicate with a mix of red fruit, spices and garrigue in the bouquet. Racy and elegant in the mouth without heaviness, it has a contained, unpretentious power and there is great length. It is marked by a true purity of style and brilliance. This is expression without elaboration, showing what the grape variety in harmony with its terroir can offer in terms of balance and elegance.

Les Clavelles is the name of a plot of 100 % Grenache vines on the western slope of the famous plateau of La Crau. The soil is typical with its worn flat pebbles, its red clay and its excellent exposure to the sun. This plot does not suffer from drought and is well-protected from the mistral. The wine has frank, explosive, vibrant fruit but with a less jammy character than a lot of pure grenache cuvées. Its specificity comes from simple observation of the equilibrium found here, the clear evidence revealed by tasting the grapes and acknowledging the plenitude of this patch of vines that we call Clavelles, (“keys” in local terms). It might appear that this plot, this wine, gave us the keys to what is unique in Châteauneuf – like the keys of Saint-Pierre found on the coat of arms of Châteauneuf du Pape.
