Product notes

This wine comes from three exceptional terroirs: "Nalys" (34%) with red sandstone soils from Comtat and saffres, "Bois Sénéchal" (63%) and "La Crau" (3%) with soils of ancient stony alluvium from the Rhône, the famous pebbles.

Production notes

Manual harvest and sorting of the grapes. Pressing then settling before vinification in thermoregulated vats around 18 ° C. Aging for 8 months, 20% of which is in wood (barrels, demi-muids).

Tasting notes

Pale yellow color, brilliant and limpid. Mineral and elegant nose with notes of citrus and blood peach. A beautiful richness in the mouth, freshness and minerality. Complete, elegant and balanced wine. Elegant pairing with a variety of starters, fish in a salt crust, grilled, in tartars or sashimi and fresh or mature goat cheese.
