This very iconic cuvée is produced with grapes of our oldest Roussanne vines parcels. The wine is fully oak aged on its fine lees for 9 months. As for a red Châteauneuf du Pape, the « Marie-Léoncie » has a great ageing potential (can be kept for more than 20 years).
When young, the wine is well balanced, lively, floral, displaying buttery, fleshy and stone fruit aromas. With some time, it’s getting smoother, revealing nutty, balsamic and light spices notes. The finish is impressively long and persistent.
