TERROIR
From a vineyard in Provence, located 10km east of Hyères, on rolling hillsides overlooking the Mediterranean and facing the Îles d’Or. The soil is very rocky, made of schist and quartz complemented by limestone and sandstone. It is very poor and naturally filters. This wine comes from plots using sustainable agriculture, the harvest is done by hand.
WINEMAKING
The grapes are crushed and destemmed before a quick maceration in a pneumatic press. For this wine, only free-run juices are selected. The vinification is traditional with temperature control. We use temperature-controlled concrete tanks. The wine is then soutiraged and stabilized. The elaboration finishes in stainless steel tanks with fine lees until spring.
