WINEMAKING & VINIFICATION

The natural grass is kept between the rows and the ground under the vine-plants is worked mechanically to galvanize the microbial life and push the roots to go deeper. The property is also certified HEV level 3 (High Environmental Value, the highest level of French environmental certification for farms).

The harvest is picked thank to a machine with latest technologies to bring in vat house only intact berries perfectly ripe, without stem, leave or wood. Then it is vinified in oak barrels and aged in barrels for 6 months on fine lees with regular stirrings.

TASTING NOTES

A wine with a great complexity, a mellow woody and exotic fruit aromas. The best pairing is to share this wine with seafood or white meat or a fish casserole, but it can also be drunk as an aperitif or with a cheese plate.
