Vinification:

This wine is made from 60% old Grenache vines (approximately 60 years old) planted in sandy soils, 20% Syrah and 20% Mourvèdre. The sandy soils contribute to the wine’s finesse and elegance, while the old vines add depth and complexity. The grapes are harvested by hand and undergo a traditional fermentation in concrete vats. The wine is then aged for 6 months, with 2/3 remaining in concrete vats to preserve freshness and 1/3 aged in neutral French oak barrels to add subtle complexity.

Producers Domaine Giraud

In 1998, children Marie and François took over responsibility for Domaine Giraud from their parents Pierre and Mireille, thus ensuring the continuation of the domain. Father Pierre’s wine heritage goes back more than 600 years, so you could say that they have always made wine. The vineyard covers 35 hectares, of which 8 hectares belong to a single appellation in the Galimardes district. The Galimardes terroir is particularly known for its stony soil composition, which gives the wine its minerality and the heat collected from the stones contributes to the development and ripening of the grapes. On these soils, Domaine Giraud grows Grenache, Mourvédre and Syrah. And since the children took over the vineyard, they have focused exclusively on cultivating their fields organically, with the utmost respect for each terroir. In 2008, they were able to label their wine organic producer. Their Grenache comes from century-old vines rooted in the Crau district and the Pignan plateau, these areas have a sandy soil that brings finesse and elegance to the wine. In the Les Tresquoys district, the domain has their Syrah on hilly clay soils.
