The Alchemy of Earth and Element

The vineyards of La Ferme du Mont stretch across a tapestry of clay-limestone soils peppered with large pebbles, an intricate dance of nature that imparts a unique character to the wine. The Mademoiselle Du Mont GSM Blend, a harmonious concert of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and old Carignan, is the product of this alchemy.

A Symphony of Sensory Delights

Upon the first encounter, Mademoiselle Du Mont enchants with its brilliant ruby red hue, a prelude to the symphony of aromas and flavors that await.

This medium to full-bodied wine celebrates the balance between power and elegance with its smooth yet noticeable tannins and crisp acidity.
