Named for the limestone found in this vineyard parcel, the 2015 Saint Chinian Roc Blanc is a blend of 60% Syrah, 30% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre, all aged in barrel for two years. Floral and herbal on the nose, it also delivers scents of mixed berries and traces of cedar and menthol. It's medium to full-bodied, with a suave, silky texture and ample length.

Aromas of ripe red and black berries intertwine with delicate spice notes of vanilla and cedar. The palate is focused and fresh, with a silky texture and pronounced minerality brought by oak aging, offering a harmonious and balanced profile.
