GRAPE VARIETIES: Grenache blanc, Grenache gris and Vermentino.

TERROIR
The grapes come mainly from the area of Latour de France, composed of gneiss.

HARVEST
By hand in small baskets.

VINIFICATION
After pressing of whole grapes, we carry out a natural cold static settling at 10°C. Fermentation is carried out at 18°C, 70% in stainless steel vats and 30% in “demi-muids” (600 l barrels). Prevention of malolactic fermentation.

MATURING
9 months, 70% in stainless steel vats and 30% in “demi-muids” (mainly new) with “batônnage” (stirring of the lees).

TASTING
Colour: lovely golden hue.
Nose: stone fruit aromas (apricots, peach), a delicately roasted floral touch, minerality and complexity.
Palate: lovely and fresh on entry, full of minerality and complexity. Well-balanced wine thanks to the freshness and the fat of the white Grenache. Notes of white flesh fruits with hints of vanilla.
