ABOUT THE WINE

The 2021 "Terroirs d'Altitude" is crafted from grapes grown on the estate's elevated schist and limestone slopes, which provide excellent drainage and contribute to the wine's freshness and minerality. The vineyards are farmed organically, with Château de Ciffre being certified organic since 2019. The wine undergoes traditional vinification with careful extraction to preserve the purity of fruit and terroir expression. Aging occurs in barrels, enhancing complexity and depth.
