Harvesting in early September and early in the morning to preserve the aromas, the freshness. The Grenache noir and Carignan are treated like a rosé wine, they macerate for a day at a cold temperature. Then we proceed with a gentle pressing. After settling the must for 36 hours, the alcoholic fermentation takes place in a temperature-controlled stainless steel tank for 4 days between 18° and 20°C. The pronounced fruity character of these grape varieties is thus preserved. The Syrah, Clairette, and Grenache blanc are fermented at 24°C, they macerate for 4 days to limit tannin extraction and preserve the fresh grape aromas. The musts are then blended at the end of fermentation.

Malolactic fermentation is followed by a very short 3-month aging period in lined concrete tanks to preserve the aromas and freshness. This cuvée is available from the beginning of the February following the harvest for only one year.
