The altitude of the vineyards ranges from 200 to 580 metres. Soils : decomposition of hard limestone and ancient alluvions. History of a know-how : The grapes are carefully sorted out for a perfectly sound sanitary state and completely destemmed. Short maceration on the skins in stainless steel self-emptying vats. Recuperation of the free run juice and gentle pressing using a pneumatic press.Cold settling of the must and fermentation of the clear juice at a temperature of 18/19 °C during approximately 3 weeks. The malolactic fermentation is blocked as to keep a sufficient level of acidity. Final blending before the bottling after a few months of maturing in vats. History of sensations : Eye : Bright frank pink role with opalescent hues. Noze : Clean fruity and floral bouquet with hint of acid drop when aerated. Fresh and fleshy, well balanced. Mouth : Crisp mouth, supple and light, with expressive perfumes of red fruits (cherry). Histoire of pleasure : Wine & Food : Can be drunk by itself (apéritifs) or with salads, grilled meat and fish
