OPULENS

The estate's prestige cuvée, it has a bold structure with silky tannins, and is the most complete expression of the estate: Vinified from a high-quality, hand-harvested raw material, from small yields, then aged in a cellar for twenty-five to thirty-six months in barrels and vats prior to bottling. The Syrah, the main variety used, comes from Villafranchien soil, the Mourvèdre from basalt screes and the Grenache from dolomitic limestone.The AOC Languedoc-Pézenas terroir is a mosaic of very stoney soils of different geological origins : shale and sandstone from the primary era, marine marl deposits, sandstone, soft limestone in some cases combined with conglomerates from the primary era and, more recently, the ancient gravel and stone-based Villafranchien terraces.
