Description

Grenache blanc 70%, Roussanne 22% and Clairette 8%.

Soils
This cuvée is the blend of our best parcels of white Grenache, Roussanne and Clairette on rolling stones and limestone flint.

Harvest
After waiting for the optimum ripeness, the grapes were harvested manually between August the 22nd and the September the 1st of 2022.

Vinification
The grapes are picked by hand, early in the morning to keep fresh, sorted and packed in a way to limit the crushing. The bunches are pressed gently, in a pneumatic press. The musts are selected, then sent to the stainless-steel tank, thermo-regulated. After settling in the cold, a part of the Grenache is filled in barrels to carry out the alcoholic fermentation.

Aging
100% of the wine is aged in barrels during 9 months

Tasting
Pale gold color with silver reflections. A nose that opens with notes of white flowers and sweet spices, then lightly toasted brioche. The attack is lively, then the roundness brought by the aging envelops the papillae. The finish is long and confirms the impression of minerality felt in attack. To be enjoyed
now and for 10 years.

Food pairing
To serve at 11-12 ° C, as soon as the aperitif, then continue on a carpaccio of St Jacques citrus sauce, a grilled sea bass, or a nice truffle brouillade.
