Winery: Domaine Saint Jean
Region: Luberon (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur)
Locale: Pertuis, France
Appellation: Luberon
Designation: AOP

In a few words: A delightful expression of the Luberon. Balanced, with good extraction and a perfect dose of Mediterranean herbs.

Site: The soil is a clay-silty texture, made up of silt (rich, permeable to water and warms quickly), clay (fertile and excellent water retention) and sand (easy to work) in balanced proportions. The presence of gravel helps loosen the soil. 

Grapes: Grenache, Syrah, Carignan and Marselan; 35-50 year old vines

Fermentation and Aging: Stainless steel tanks with thermo-regulation

Notes: Deep purple-red in color, with aromas of cherries. A silky, fruit-forward palate with nicely smooth tannins. A perfect pairing for red meat, barbecue and wild game.
