Winemaking notes
The grapes are harvested at optimum
maturity in the cooler hours of the day
to preserve the flavors, freshness and
aromas. Each grape variety is vinified
individually at low temperature following
a pre-fermentation/maceration.
The wines are then racked off and the
different grape varieties are blended.
A short ageing in vats before early
bottling in December to preserve
the fresh, youthful fruit components.
Vegan Friendly.
Viticultural notes
CÔTES DE PROVENCE When you
set foot among the vines, a holiday
feeling floats through the air. This is
assuredly why the grapes there are so
gorgeous and its wines so delicious.
As a general rule, the soil of wine-making
Provence is poor, but well-drained. This
shallow land, with no excess humidity,
is ideal for the typically Mediterranean
plant that is the grapevine.
Located in Provence (South-East
France), at the foot of the Mount
Sainte-Victoire, the vines are leveled
into ‘‘espalies’’ on a calcareous clay soil.
They benefit from a moderate altitude
(300m) and temperate Mediterranean
climate (sunny, dry and warm). Black Grenache 60%, Syrah 25%
and Cinsault 15%.
Tasting notes
Elegant petal rose
colour. Aromas of small red fruits
and citrus. Lively mouthfeel with
sweet English candy flavours.
Pairing notes
Serve chilled, between 10-12°C
(50° F and 60° F) .
Best enjoyed while fresh and vibrant,
today and up to 2 years of age.
It matches perfectly with summer
lunch, melon with ham, salads,
cold cuts, grilled white meat,
pizza or tapas. Also delicious with
Mediterranean, Oriental or Asian
cuisine. Enjoy it on its own all year
round!
