Vines are 20-55 years old. Terroir (soil type) is a blend of Caillottes and Terre Blanche. Everything is machine harvested (which means it is 100% destemmed). 50% Direct press 50% Saigne (bled) with 12-24 hours of skin contact maceration. The alcoholic fermentation is done in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Right before bottling, the wine is fined with Bentonite (very light filtration with oenologic clay). Tasting Notes: Light, bright pink. Redcurrant, strawberry and chalk on the nose, with a touch of singed orange gaining strength with air. Dusty red fruit and citrus flavors are braced by tangy minerality, which adds lift and cut. Uncompromising in the best way, finishing with excellent clarity and echoes of lemon and orange zest. Food pairings: This is a very versatile wine. You can have it on its own in the summer time as an apritif. But it is also excellent with Hors d'Oeuvres and terrines.
