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.

Ageing

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

Tasting notes

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.
