Grape Varieties: 40% Grenache Blanc, 20 % Clairette, 40% Roussanne
These grape varieties come from 2 different but complementary terroirs: the sandy soil "Mourre des Perdrix" and the soil "Brusquières"
Viticulture: Rigorous bud pruning. Furthermore, green harvesting and leaf thinning are done.
The picking is entirely by hand, with sorting in the vineyard and again in the cellar.
Vinification: manual harvest and sorting at the estate by vibrating table, destemming and crushing of the grapes.
Grenaches and Roussanne are aged 75% in stainless steel vats for seven months, with stirring on the lees. The rest is aged in new oak barrels for seven months, with regular batonnages.
Clairette stays 100 % in stainless steel vats for keeping fruit and freshness.
TASTING NOTE:
The nose is on fruits with yellow and white flesh, dominated by peach and exotic fruits. A few notes of vanilla and brioche bring an extra touch of fat. The richness of its mouth unfolds and ends with a mineral note.
