Why this name?
Exorde is the name of this first cuvée, when he established himself as a winemaker.
In French, “Exorde” means introduction, preamble. So this wine is his introduction as a producer.
How was this cuvée born?
David, the winemaker, wanted to find a good balance between the two cépages, giving texture and roundness with the Syrah, but keeping the freshness and lightness of the Cinsault. So he did lots of tests to reach a satisfying result, and only kept 10% of Syrah coupled with a short macération.
