Made from the estate's young vines, Les Amandiers 2014 expresses itself on notes of fresh red berries such as redcurrant. The palate is seductive and greedy, making for a very pleasant wine. Mediterranean cuisine and grilled vegetables will give it a warm welcome!

Winemaking
varies according to grape variety. Some of the youngest Carignan and Syrah grapes are vinified by carbonic maceration: the grapes are placed whole in vats and left intact for the entire vatting period (20 days). The other plots are destemmed and worked in the classic way: pumping over, délestage or regular punching of the cap at 27 - 29°C.
Breeding
in vats for at least 8 months

Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2024) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Since the 1970s, this certified organic estate has been one of the jewels in the appellation's crown, appearing in the Guide with unfailing regularity. Boasting a magnificent terroir of 70 small schist parcels (58 ha) that sculpt the landscape, today it benefits from the know-how of the younger generation, inherited from grandfather Jean and father Bernard Vidal, both former presidents of the appellation.
