I t is a Mediterranean one with particularly
hot summers. The Mistral wind blows away any humidity, ensuring very
good climatic conditions for the cultivation of vines.
HARVEST
All grapes are hand picked, which enables to select the
best grapes. This is a major point in the quality of our wines.
W I N E M A K I N G & A G E I N G
De-stemming at 100% followed by a maceration of 15 to
18 days which allows our Côtes-du-Rhônes’ to get a good tannic structure
which will make them able to age well. After the malolactic
fermentation, the wines are kept in vats in our cellars for a period of
8 to 10 months. Then they are bottled and stay for some months in our
cellars before being shipped.
D R
I N K I N G
In this appellation, we want to elaborate wines that
can be appreciated 12 to 18 months after their harvest. These wines are
elegant and fruity and able to get a good ageing thanks to an adapted
structure. |
