TERROIR


The cuvée LE CLAUX is a single-plot red wine composed of a blend of two red grape varieties planted in the place called Le Claux.

The vineyard located at the place called Le Claux is situated at an altitude of 300-350 meters, it is oriented East-North East. It is one of the latest wineyard of the estate, the grapes maturation is very slow.
Its soil is composed of clayey marl, very rare in Luberon, which gives it a very high quality potential. Its genesis took place in the upper continental Tortonian, a geological period dating from -7 to -5 million years.



WINEGROWING & WINEMAKING


The vines are cultivated according to the principles of the Organic Farming

The grapes are harvested by hand, sorted and then totally destemmed, and placed in vats without crushing. The alcoholic fermentation starts spontaneously during the maceration phase with the grape varieties blended, at the end of which the must is pressed.
The press juice is blended with the free-run juice and the must is aged for 30 months in demi-muids and concrete vats.

Once the maturation is over, the must is racked and filtered by roughing filtration. It is then bottled.

Sulphiting is very light during the whole process (less than 2g/hl).
