Les 3 Barbus, 2014

Located in the North of the Appellation Villeneuve is at the « crossroad » of several very ancient geological evolutions of the soils. Red clays and loess laying on sand from the sea which was here million of years ago and which also rolled the famous round stones of Châteuneuf-du-Pape. Yellow clays laying on sedimentary deposits. Clays are together the « bones » of the soil and the larder of the nutritive components of the organic matter which is the basis of the life activity in the soil. Loess, sans and stones give porosity which is the sign of terroirs of quality. Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, and Clairette from 30 to 100 years old. Syrah from 5 to 20 years old.
