Terroir

PLANTING DATE: N/A.

LOCATION: Plots located at the foot of the old tower overlooking Collioure, which gave the estate its name.

EXPOSURE: N/A.

GEOLOGY : Paleozoic bedrock from the CAMBRIAN period, among the oldest in Europe. A hybrid composition of Canaveilles schists, Cabrils black schists, and feldspathic sandstone. The outcropping rock induces deep rooting, ensuring optimal resilience to water stress; terraced vineyard, 100% manual cultivation.

Viticulture & Winemaking

HARVEST: Manual, between late August and mid-September (starting with Grenache, followed by Mourvèdre and Carignan).

YIELD: 35 to 40 hl/ha.

SORTING: In the vineyard and at the winery.

WINEMAKING: Upon arrival at the winery, grapes are sorted and cooled before being destemmed and placed in temperature-controlled vats. They macerate for 5 weeks for a gentle extraction of aromas and tannins. Both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations completed.

AGING: Intentionally short. A few months in stainless steel vats.

BOTTLING: After light filtration. No fining.

CLOSURE: Natural cork.

Sommelier's Note

"La Pinède, dominated by Grenache Noir, undergoes an intentionally short aging process to preserve maximum fruitiness. Juicy and bursting with red fruit—led by cherry—this cuvée also reveals an elegant floral touch and delicate spices. It is an accessible, crowd-pleasing wine, yet it retains all the richness of its Collioure terroir, granting it power and generosity!"
