Wine growing / wine making

Once the harvest is complete, the Grenache Blanc, Marsanne and Maccabeu are vinified separately to identify the particularities of each variety. The final blend is then aged for 12 months in French oak barrels to bring complexity, roundness and tasty aromas. Stirring is done regularly to re-suspend the fine lees that settle at the bottom of the barrel.

Tasting notes

A golden colour with sparkling pale yellow reflections. An intense and powerful nose of white fruits such as pear and quince. Lovely freshness on the finish with notes of honey and white flowers.

Food pairing

Pan-fried scallops, chicken roasted with garlic, roasted sea bass, crab ravioli, roast pork.
