TERROIR
The terroir of Aniane is based on a geological & complex element where we find mainly a soil of rolled pebbles from the end of the Tertiary, the Miocene Poudingues but also the ancient alluvial terraces and alluvial fans. They form the regions of the 'Grès de Montpellier', the Larzac terraces, the Béziers terraces, the Clairette du Languedoc, Pézenas and Quatourze.
All the Languedoc soils have a very high proportion of coarse, rocky, stony or gravelly elements, as well as a great depth exploitable by the vine's root system and good natural drainage. The differences are mainly in the absence or presence of limestone, particularly active limestone, which has an impact on the choice of rootstock and can condition the qualities of the tannins.
WINEGROWING & WINEMAKING
The vineyard is cared and Xavier Braujou follows the biodynamics principles to manage its plots, without any certification however, which does not allow us to classify its wines in the category of the Organic Wines.
Once harvested, the grapes are put in vats where the indigenous yeasts carry out the alcoholic fermentation and the lactic bacteria the malolactic fermentation.
The must is then racked into vats for a 6-month ageing period. No filtration before bottling.
The must is racked and filtered by sterile filtration before bottling.
The bottle is sealed with a DIAM3® cork stopper which guarantees the absence of any TCA contamination or cork taste.
