ABOUT THE WINE
“Les Becs Fins” is crafted from a blend dominated by Grenache, complemented by Syrah and Mourvèdre, sourced from carefully selected villages across the southern Rhône. The 2024 vintage brought generous sunshine and optimal ripening, resulting in expressive fruit with preserved freshness.
Fermented with partial whole clusters and aged primarily in large foudres and used oak barrels, the wine retains purity and texture without heavy oak influence. Expect layers of red and black fruit, hints of garrigue, and subtle spice, framed by approachable tannins and a harmonious finish.
