Terroir
This cuvée is a blend of grape varieties coming mainly from plots located on the terraces of the river Aygues. Formed of pebbles, clay and fine sands, this terroir will bring finesse and balance to the wine. Only the Viognier parcel is located on the heights of the village of Cairanne, belonging to the Miocene hills terroir, which favours freshness and complexity in the wines.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand, in small containers, and then pressed directly. Fermentation takes place under temperature control. Malolactic fermentation is not done.
