50/50 blend of Grenache and Syrah on some of the most sought after soil in the valley. The grapes are co-fermented and aged in concrete - no oak, so as to preserve the varietal characteristics. Plenty of heft here still, don't worry.

Bernard Duseigneur comes from a family of winemakers, situated on the west side of the Rhône Valley. It was only after a stint in the City (London's City that is) that he decided he needed to return to his Mediterranean roots, taking over the family domain in 2002. Don't blame him really, I'd take a vineyard over urban slog if I had the choice. Bernard continues the diligent work of his father Jean and his brother Frédéric, crafting wines of great power and simultaneous elegance.
