Selection of the best vineyards of the chƒteau, south-south-east exposure, chalky-clay slopes. Grapes are individually tasted and selected in the vineyard, sorted twice. Grenache (48% 80 years old) and Rolle. Destemming and soft pressing. 100% free-run juice. Maceration at 10-12øC to extract aromas. Vinification exclusively in demi-muids (500-litre barrels). Seven months burgundian-style bƒtonnage, temperature controlled. Magnum. Much nervier and livelier than the Ch d'Esclans 2006, though not as complex as subsequent vintages of Les Clans. Crisp and lively with an appealingly herby nose but winemaking has definitely improved over the years.

This wine needs some age to drink at it's top potential. At this point it started like a Meursault but finished like a Provence rose. Just beautiful. Perfect with rich sushi.
