Born from the mixing of two terroirs, one comprised of micaschist on the
steep slopes of La Viallière and the other comprised of granite on the
steep terraces of Bassenon, the cuvée « Eminence » reflects the nobility of
its origins. It exudes aromas of cassis, blackberry, violet and white pepper.
On the palate it is harmonious, fleshy, and shows a beautiful maturity

syrah to reveal all the charms of its great terroir.
