La Truffière, Cairanne AOC
Notes of black olive tapenade and dark violets are underpinned by hints of liquorice and chocolate. Whilst supple tannins carry peppery red and black fruits through to a vibrant, expressive finish.
Wine Story
A large part of this wine was used for the blends of Les Six and Côte Sauvage however during this blending session, this wine really stood out as the star of the show. We decided therefore, that we wanted to save a small part to create this new “Sélection Parcellaire” cuvée.

Vineyard
La Truffière, meaning truffle orchard, is a single parcel cuvée selected in the 2024 vintage for its exceptional quality Syrah and Grenache. It is a complex, layered wine with the distinctive freshness and elegance we've come to expect from our hillside vineyards.
Winemaking
A minimum extraction style of winemaking, almost leaning toward the “infusion” style, has created a wine open and fluid in its youth, yet with a capacity for ageing.
Maturation
La Truffière was both vinified and aged in a large 60HL Foudre. The fermentation was temperature controlled and once up to temperature, was limited to no more than 24 degrees.
