DESCRIPTION
LA PETITE CÔTE's name does not indicate the so-called eponymous place. The viognier vines that make up this wine are planted on plots located in the Chavanay's village, most of them are terraces facing south / southeast.
TERROIR
The plots soil consists exclusively of an outcrop of muscovite granite, a magmatic rock that formed in depth by the magma cooling nearly 350 million years ago.
Of low porosity and non-permeability nature, this rock deteriorates over time and fractures, allowing the water to infiltrate. The vine can find overthere a precious water resource when it plunges its roots.
WINEGROWING & WINEMAKING
The grapes are harvested and sorted manually before being pressed. The must ferments in barrels with the native yeasts. It is then aged on its lees for 9 months during which regular stirring is practiced to resuspend the lees.
The bottle is sealed with a DIAM10® cork stopper which guarantees the absence of TCA contamination of the wine (or cork taste)
