La Mouline from Côte Blonde combines 89% Syrah and 11% Viognier, hailing from vines aged over 75 years. The vineyard, reminiscent of a Roman amphitheatre with its terraced structure, is rooted in gneiss featuring lightly colored silicone soil and limestone loess. In the vinification process, thermoregulated stainless steel tanks are employed, along with traditional pumping over techniques. The blend undergoes alcoholic fermentation and a four-week maceration period. This is followed by a significant maturation period of 42 months in new oak barrels.
