Appellation

AOP Languedoc-Montpeyroux

Terroir

Age of vines: between 40 and 60 years old. Area of production: 4 plots totalling 2. 7 Ha. Yield: 25 hl/ha. Soil: argilo-limestone. These four plots are located on the plain between Mont-Baudille and the Mediterranean Sea near the town of Montpeyroux. They benefit from a sunny south exposure and cooling winds from the north.

Viticulture & Vinification

Manual harvest. Traditional vinification: in the first weeks, destemming, pumping over, racking and returning the wine to vats for extraction and flavour, aeration and clarification, while removing sediment. This is followed by gentle pressing. 100% of the wine is aged in used oak barrels for 18 months.

Taste

This fine and elegant wine has a beautiful aromatic intensity (black berries, spice, dark chocolate), a velvety richness and a long finish.

Food matching

Perfect with grilled meats, roast lamb or Mediterranean cuisine.
