septentrioNale
Is Syrah for red. With a touch of the outlaw colonial.
Old vine Cabernet Sauvignon.
As white it is Viognier dominant, with Roussanne or Marsanne blended.
The 2016 Septentrionale rouge is opaque purple ruby. It smells
of sweet forest floor. Soft but weighty blueberry, dried herb and spice characters fill the mouth, framed with as yet new oak.
This opens to a warm drying finish typical of the year's ripeness.

meridionale
Is Grenache dominant for red.
Blending Mourvèdre, Cinsaut, Syrah, and often Counoise.
For the white, Roussanne dominates. Viognier and Marsanne
are blended.
The 2017 Meridionale red is delicate ruby. Mouthwatering.
A bouquet of sour cherries and a gentle kiss of savoury oak.
A cooler lighter year. The finish is still warming.
With Grenache's natural viscosity filling the palate.
Cellaring should integrate these characters with time.

provencale
|
Is mostly Mourvèdre for red and rosé.
But reflects a season with proportions of Carignan, Cinsaut, Grenache, Morrastel, and sometimes Counoise or Syrah. In 2016 the Provencale red is earthy and dense. With the subdued mulberry of Mourvedre at its core, along with well integrated oak, soaked up by the fruit weight from a warmer season. The 2018 Provencale Rose' has an earthy nose and medium pale peach blush hue. In the mouth it is rich, robust and rustic; a hint of nectarine, apricot, and drying on the finish. |

deuxieme
Is second.
Declassified parcels from the premier wines.
Exact composition varies with the season.
The 2016 Deuxieme is soft garnet. Dominated currently with the Grenache, Mourvedre and seasoned oak. Defined cherry and earth characters infuse the wine.
Following through on a warm savoury mouthfilling finish.
