Domaine des Florets sits at the top of the Dentelles de Montmirail, the domain extends over 8 hectares whose 4 hectares in Gigondas at an altitude of 500 meters on steep terrain protected by high limestone rocks and nestled in a cocoon of greenery. The soils are mainly clay-limestone and sandy clay silt and profit from the natural freshness that characterizes Florets's wine.

Two thirds aged in stainless steel and one third in oak for 12 months.  Ripe, juicy and aromatic with warm cherries and plums. Lovely texture here with a fine peppery edge to the lush fruit. This has depth and balance with a sweet core of fruit and a fine-grained mineral finish.

From the Winemaker:

"Alliance is the call for a reconciliation of Man with Nature to honor sacred nature and make an alliance with it so that each is useful to the other."
