Harvest
The fruits were picked by hand on August the 24th,2023.

Winemaking
The harvest date is determined precisely according to the maturity controls but especially the tasting of the berries. The grapes are picked by hand in boxes of 10 kg and then pressed gently, in a pneumatic press. The musts are decanted at 10 ° C in stainless steel vats and then squeezed in barrels where the alcoholic fermentation takes place. No malo-lactic fermentation.

Aging
100% in barrels of 2 wines and more for 6 months.

Tasting
A pretty pale gold dress with brilliant reflections. A nose that opens on notes of citron. The attack is lively and frank, then the roundness brought by the breeding envelops the taste buds.

Sommelier Tips
To be served at 12 ° C, as soon as an aperitif, then continue on scallops, a sea bream, or acidulous chicken aiguillettes. Ideal also with a St Nectaire or a Fourme d’Ambert cheese.
