About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards lie mainly on clay soils with some limestone, which contribute to the wine's clean, precise style. The harvest date is chosen according to the ripeness of the grapes, to preserve balance and freshness.

Vinification

The grapes are carefully sorted, destemmed and gently crushed, then cooled to 8 °C. Cold maceration lasts 4–5 hours at the same temperature and takes place without exposure to oxygen; this is when the wine takes on its copper-pink colour. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at 18 °C.

Ageing

Before bottling, the wine spends a short time in steel tanks to retain its freshness, clarity and bright fruit character.

Tasting profile

Light, fresh and approachable, with a clean, precise style and a bright fruit character. The colour is copper-pink.
