Vineyard and terroir
The grapes grow on marl and sandstone soils of Eocene origin.
Vinification
The grapes are gently destemmed, briefly macerated and softly pressed. After clarification, the must ferments at a controlled temperature in small French oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation also takes place in the barrels.
Ageing
The wine ages on its fine lees in the French oak barrels, developing greater flavour and creaminess. It then matures further in bottle in the winery’s cellars, gaining harmony and depth.
Tasting profile
The complex, ample bouquet opens with freshly baked bread and spices, followed by linden blossom, citrus zest and a distinct hint of aromatic herbs. The palate is generous and well balanced, with a creamy, silky texture, a rich fruit profile and refined minerality. The finish is long and mineral, with subtle nutty notes. With bottle age, the aromas become more complex and layered and the palate develops additional nuances.
Serving and pairing
Pair with fish or seafood.
Label / history
