2018
Location
The Domaine is situated in the area of the CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE Appellation.
Terroir
The terroir is clavey-chalky with large rounded sun-warmed stones, which diffuse a gentle, provenditial heat that helps the grapes to mature.
In the vineyard
For 40 years, we cultivate the vineyard with agriculture in an environmental friendly way. The yield is low : 35 hl/ha. The grapes are harvested by hand in the morning at fresh temperature with a selection of the best grapes.
Winemaking
The grapes are directly pressed to extract their juice at low pressure. The juice is then fermented at a controlled temperature to extract the grape aromas. We do add no sulfites during the vinification. 40% is vinified in barriques of 400 liters.
Ageing
It’s then preserved in fine lees in suspension. Maturing during 10 months.
Malo-lactic fermentation is done (it brings more aromatic expression).
