This blend of 60% Syrah, 30% Grenache and 10% Cinsault is all hand-harvested (most fruit in the region is machine-harvested) and then made saignee-style where the free run juice is bled off the grape must.

This makes for a vibrant pink rose that is full of flavor and complexity. Great tension and minerality support the flavors of strawberries, fresh-cut melon and grapefruit. The property originally belonged to the Cistercian Monastery which was founded in 1098 at Citeaux in Burgundy. They expanded to Le Thoronet in Provence in the mid 12th century and built a monastery. They made wine and olive oil and produced their own food. This was intact until the late 18th century when the property was declared bankrupt and the property sold. Today this property is owned by Franc Petit who acquired it some 45 years ago.
