Composed of 15 Rhône varietals including Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Carignan, Counoise, Mourvèdre, Muscat, Aubun, Alicante, Tempranillo, and several others. Made to reflect a historic style of wine from the 19th century (the etching on the label also dates from this time), the wine is all hand harvested, co-fermented, and racked straight into barrel for aging right after fermentation. Rodolphe de Pins, the current proprietor, has chosen to further age this wine in bottle so that it is perfectly ready to drink upon release. It is drinking beautifully now, with a lovely savory development showing, and all the structure integrated seamlessly into the dark, brooding fruit.
