60% (not 80% as it used to be) Grenache. Élevage in Ampuis. All bought-in wine, from 43 domaines! They taste samples from November to March. (‘Some properties you have to taste after the winter. In 2013 Grenache was rare and dear. We realised in 2007 that there was a worry about climate change. We were shown 16%+ samples so since then we deliberately reduced the Grenache component.’) Lots of excitement and complexity on the nose. Very satisfying and broad. But not hot. ‘We work with very good domaines.’

'A small revolution: We've added much more Mourvèdre so that now it's about 20% and 20% Syrah. Grenache only 60% now.' Rich and spicy but with energy too. ‘We keep them for three or more years in foudres, but not so good if you have very alcoholic wines because the fruit falls out.’ Lots of gas and raciness. Very sweet. The blackberry of Mourvèdre is especially obvious.
