They reveal intense aromas of ripe black fruits, southern spices, garrigue, and a subtle smoky touch. The whites, rare and distinctive, show saline minerality and a vibrant tension.

Signature Cuvées
Cuvée Réservée
The heart and soul of the estate. Dominated by Grenache, it shows remarkable depth, silky tannins, and a refined balance. A true classic of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc
A vibrant, floral white wine with elegant saline tension. A subtle interpretation of southern white varieties, both refined and persistent.
La Cise
A sunnier and more immediate expression, to be enjoyed young. Generous, supple and accessible while retaining the signature of the terroir.
Cuvée Da Capo
The mythical cuvée of the estate, produced only in exceptional vintages. Sourced from the oldest vines (≈ 85% Grenache, complemented by Mourvèdre and Syrah), traditionally vinified and aged for a long time in old foudres. A wine of phenomenal density, rare aromatic complexity and legendary longevity — a true collector’s bottle.
