“[The] environment, coupled with naturally low output, enables us to make wines, courtesy of lengthy temperature-controlled vinification, that combine elegant tannic structure with a perfume of wild garrigue and spice, mixed with the sunshine aromas of Grenache, the dominant partner in the blend. Maturation in 300-liter barrels bestows greater creaminess, and they peak around 3-5 years, although the best vintages can be laid down for 10 years or more.” More at www.DomainedeMontvac.fr
