Info about the wine
Cuvée of Grenache and Syrah, of which only 5157 bottles, 99 magnums and 16 double magnums were produced.
Info about the expansion
Handpicked with low yields of 15 hl/ha, the whole grapes were fermented for 12 days. Aging in concrete, in tanks and a few used barriques.
Color
Dark, muted black-red with delicate garnet lightening towards the rim.
Nose
The 2015 La Pierre Noir shows the perfect interplay between charming fruit and deep, stony minerality. Sweet black cherries, blackberry compote, dried dates and liquid chocolate combine with wood smoke, tobacco and black olives. Its herbal freshness and floral hints of violet and lavender make it feminine and seductive.
Palate
On the palate, it appears lively and fresh. The juicy and sweet fruit is accompanied by a ripe and at the same time firm and youthful tannin structure. Salty and stony aromas determine its character and also the long finish. A wine that holds great potential for development and that should definitely be decanted at this point in time.
