Grape variety

Roussanne - Picpoul

Origin

The grapes comes from vineyards that overlook the Mediterranean Sea. The soils, mainly calcareous, are composed of sand, gravel, molasse and white marls and are not overly productive, limiting vine growth and promoting ripening of the grapes.

Vinification

The two varieties are vinified separately in stainless steel vats. The grapes are destemmed and slightly pressed. The juice is fermented at a controlled temperature of 18°C. 40% in oak barrels (20 % new barrels) and 60% in stainless steel vats.

Ageing

After blending, the wine is aged for 3 months on fine lees.

Tasting notes

The wine is fresh and mineral with a beautiful pae yellow colour. Expressive nose of white flowers, pear and kiwi. Finale of bitter orange underlined by delicate notes of white pepper.

Wine and Food

Serve at 12°C as an aperitif,with a fresh fish tartar or a grilled fish. Delicious with an eggplant tatin, a dahl of coral lentils or a Thai salad.
