Characteristic of Viognier and its floral notes, this is a wine with an incredible freshness and great depth. It will be a wonderful match for Mediterranean dishes and fish.
Presentation
Presentation
A remarkably fresh and deep wine, with typical Rhône characteristics, great with Mediterranean food and rockfish.
The vintage
2015 was a magnificent year in the south as well, characterized by excellent sanitary conditions thanks to the mild, wet winter, followed by a relatively hot, dry spring. The vines coped well with the extreme heat and lack of rain in the summer thanks to good hydric reserves. Following satisfactory flowering, rapid and regular ripening was assisted by rain that fell in August, producing berries rich in phenolic compounds and anthocyanins. As in the north, harvesting took place under excellent conditions.
Location
Located on the fresh and light soils of Cairanne and Jonquières. The vineyard is situated between the rivers of Ouvèze and Aigues.
Terroir
Recent alluvial deposits of calcareous origin with variations according to the river path, clayey limestone.
Ageing
Crushing in pneumatic presses, fining of the must and refrigeration. Regulated fermentation in tanks.
