Domaine Serre Besson

The Domaine, facing the Mont Ventoux, is situated between two ravines with numerous natural springs well protected by forest to the North. The majority of the Syrah is planted high on the hillside abutting the forest with other parcels of Grenache, Syrah, Viognier, Cinsault, Mourvèdre and Carignan lower on the slope.We limit production by dropping grapes and defoliate around grapes clusters for deeper color and greater concentration. The grapes are harvested by hand, transferred into small 20 kilo bins, sorted by hand, destemmed and dropped into gravity fed cement fermentation tanks. Parcels and varietals are fermented separately for optimal blending.
