About this wine
Tasting notes
Clear, pale gold. A deep, elegant nose combining hints of fresh fruit, citrus, sweet spice and vanilla. On the palate, a fine attack carried by richness, developing with breadth and freshness, and exceptional length. An absolute success.
Winemaking
Vermentino: direct whole-bunch pressing. The juice is held cold for 5 days at 7°C, with the lees stirred back into suspension once a day, to extract as many aroma precursors as possible. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in new barrels with a medium long toast.
Grenache Blanc: hand-harvested at night, direct whole-bunch pressing. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in new barrels with a medium toast.
Ageing: between 12 and 14 months
Cooper: French oak, Tonnellerie Bel Air
Food pairing
Sea bream carpaccio or grilled prawns
Terroir
A silty, clayey, sandy plateau of Eocene limestone gravel at an average altitude of 150 metres.
