Olivier Ravoire

Black fruit, garrigue and oak are present. The palate is powerful, smooth and rounded, with persistent fruit. The blend is eighty percent Grenache and twenty percent Syrah. All Syrah matures for twelve months in 225-litre French oak barrels, split evenly between new and once-used wood. Ten percent of the Grenache spends twelve months in new 600-litre French oak. Melted tannins, smoke and red fruit are also present.
