The red grapes grow in land parcels low in the foothills. The grapes mature later
than those destined for the Domaine de l’Hortus range. The red vines grow in
shallower scree with limestone elements closer to the source rock. They are,
therefore, more sensitive to drought. The maturing process requires great care in
the cellars, with relatively short periods macerating and maturing.
