100% Sérine – an indigenous, non-cloned Syrah variety. Old vines planted between 1941 and 1997, on the upper slopes of Tupin, on a terraced vineyard of granite and gneiss soils, typical of the southern part of the Côte-Rôtie appellation. This part of the hill has up to 50% slope. The grapes are harvested by hand at low yields.
