Overview

The inaugural vintage of La Colline was in 2013, not an auspicious year for Grenache, but this site planned high in the Dentelles in 1975 weathered the inclement Spring weather well. The soils here are rocky, clay-limestone with a high chalk content making for wines that are rich with exceedingly fine tannins. Yields are among Julien’s lowest at barely 15 hl/ha. 320 cases made in an average year.
