"The bewitching
"This Syrah-dominated cuvée reveals a complex nose of red and black fruits, violets, garrigue spices and white pepper. The palate is soft, silky and focused on ripe fruit, supported by smooth tannins, a touch of freshness and a pretty spicy finish". (Le Guide Hachette 2024)

About the wine:
This Syrah-dominated cuvée reveals a complex nose of red and black fruits, violets, garrigue spices and white pepper. The palate is soft, silky and focused on ripe fruit, supported by smooth tannins, a hint of freshness and a pretty spicy finish.
About the domain :
The origins of the estate, where 6 generations have succeeded one another, date back to 1864. The estate boasts a 25-hectare vineyard planted on a variety of terroirs. Pierre and Marie-Claude Fontaneil have been at the helm of the estate since 1989, and for almost 30 years they have been producing wines with strong personalities, both dry and vins doux naturels. In 2017, they sold the estate to a young winemaking couple, Élodie and Matthieu Collet.
