ORIGIN

This wine originates from carefully selected cuvées by our oenologists in the South of France.

The vineyards are mainly facing due south to take advantage a maximum of sunshine. They are cultivated on clay-limestone soils and located mainly in 3 different areas:
- Montagne Noire (Minervois) foothills,
- At the foots of the Cévennes mountains (North of the French Gard Department),
- High valley of the Aude Department.

The vines grow at an altitude situated between 250 and 400 meters guarantying freshness, vivacity and structure. oWith an average age of around 20 years on the different plots.

VINIFICATION AND MATURING

- Sourcing and selection of the grapes, musts and juices.
- Separate vinification of each selected lot.
- Partial integration of the press wine during the blend according to tasting results.
- Maturation and ageing for 6 months to offer a very nice balance between aromatic power and minerality.
