Presentation
Terroir
The House can select the vineyards best exposed with sandy clay soils (often covered by gravels or stones) which drain water well and provide freshness.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand at maturity early in the morning. . After a strict cold settling (10-12°C), varieties other than the majority Grenache usually ferment together depending on their maturity and are vinified with the aim to extract most of their freshness (very low fermentation temperatures, numerous rackings …). The Grenache is generally harvested at its early maturity to guarantee maximum freshness and is vinified similarly.
Ageing
After blending, the cuvée is aged on fine lees to bring smoothness and elegance, which are in perfect harmony with the aromatic freshness. Bottling takes place in February of the year following the harvest and the wine is available after settling one month in bottle.
