The vineyards for La Grande Bleue are located near the Mediterranean Sea, on clay and limestone soils. Thanks to the Mediterranean climate with abundant sunlight and the constant influence of the sea breeze, the grapes ripen evenly while retaining their fresh acidity. The proximity of the sea and the garrigue creates an aromatic profile with characteristic spiciness and freshness.
After careful selection, the grapes are vinified separately in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, with gentle extraction to preserve the fruit and structure. A short maturation on the fine lees adds depth without losing the fresh character.
This blend consists of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre. The Syrah provides structure and dark fruit notes, Grenache provides smoothness and aromatic red fruit, while Mourvèdre adds spice and length.
Pairs perfectly with grilled vegetables, ratatouille, or a Provençal stew. Serve at 16 to 18 degrees Celsius for the best balance of fruit and spice.
