This wine is only released in the very best vintages and hails from a single vineyard, the highest south facing site on the estate. The vineyard is very steep (parts at 40%), receives long sunshine hours and gentle winds from the West. The soil is layered and comprises large pudding stones and reddish clay. There is a staggering 7800 vines/ha producing a “bonsai” effect on the vines. Coupled with three “green harvests” the vines yield an unbelievable 10hl/ha with only 5- 6 bunches per vine. 'We are under the spell of La Tyre, which combines superb quality fruit, and an expanded frame and a dynamic character: it is a great wine
