Terroir

PLANTING DATE: N/A.

LOCATION: Blend of Grenache Blanc and Grenache Gris plots.

EXPOSURE: N/A.

TERROIR :

  • A Millenary Heritage: The terroir draws its strength from soils dating back to the CAMBRIAN, ranking among the oldest in Europe.

  • Geological Uniqueness: Unlike the neighboring terroirs of Collioure, this site reflects a major shift in sedimentation conditions. Volcanic materials recede to make way for pelites—remnants of a distant aquatic past (marine or lacustrine environments).

Viticulture & Winemaking

HARVEST: Manual, via successive selective pickings (tries).

YIELD: 30 hl/ha.

SORTING: In the vineyard and at the winery.

WINEMAKING: Upon arrival, the grapes undergo pre-fermentation cooling followed by direct pressing. The must is then transferred into stainless steel tanks to initiate alcoholic fermentation. After several days, the process is interrupted by fortification (mutage) with the addition of neutral wine spirit (96% abv); this neutralizes yeast activity to stabilize the must's natural residual sugars.

AGING: After racking, short aging in vats.

BOTTLING: After light filtration.

CLOSURE: Natural cork.

Sommelier's Note

"A true ode to indulgence. This cuvée reveals a generous bouquet of quince paste, honey, and candied pear. While the palate charms with its unctuous texture, it maintains an elegant lightness thanks to a natural acidity that provides the tension needed for a perfect balance. A wine made for pure enjoyment, ideally served between 8 and 10°C"
