Terroir

PLANTING DATE: N/A.

LOCATION: Plots situated at the foot of the old tower overlooking Collioure, from which the estate takes its name.

EXPOSURE: N/A.

GEOLOGY :

  • Terroir: Primary CAMBRIAN formation (among the oldest in Europe).
    Mineral complexity: Canaveilles schists, Cabrils black schists, and feldspathic sandstones.

  • Water Management: The outcropping rock induces deep-root exploration, ensuring optimal water regulation and high resilience.

  • Cultivation: Terraced layout requiring exclusively manual intervention and 100% hand-tended vineyard management.

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, the grapes undergo rigorous sorting and pre-fermentation cooling. After destemming, the harvest is placed in temperature-controlled vats for a prolonged 5-week maceration. Constant thermal control allows for a delicate extraction of the tannic structure and aromatic precursors. The process concludes with the full completion of both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations.

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

BOTTLING: After light filtration. No fining.

CLOSURE: Natural cork.
