Micaceous schists, ranging in color from
ochre to red, with a layered appearance
veined with white quartz.
A year punctuated by unforeseen weather conditions! The winter was marked by an exceptional drought. The rains of May and June, however, rekindled the disease
pressure on Pignans.
August was very hot, with a lot of Mistral wind and hot nights. Temperatures dropped around September. All in all, an uneven harvest, with early and later grape varieties such as Mourvèdre and Cinsault.
Each grape variety is harvested and vinified
separately. The harvest is carried out
respecting technical criteria to determine the
perfect balance between the PH, total acidity
and the phenolic maturity in the must.
Destemmed, the grapes are cooled before
pneumatic pressing at a low pressure. The
first juices are selected and racked at 15°C.
The alcoholic fermentation is regulated at
17° C in stainless steel vats. Fining and
blending are followed by a cooling technique
which prevents sediment formation and it is
then filtered and bottled at the beginning of
Summer.
A rose-gold color with numerous golden flecks
This wine promises a great terroir rosé wine. The aromatic bouquet is both rich and elegant. Initial mineral and iodine notes, reminiscent of the estate’s seaside location, give way to delicate scents of peppery rose, lychee and candied citrus. Refined touches of sweet spices like vanilla and cardamom complete the profile.
The palate is consistent with the nose, offering finesse and delicacy from the very first sip. The balance is perfect between mineral freshness, salinity and volume, fullness and richness. The full-bodied, fruity finish lingers and is refreshingly mineral with hints of citrus zest.
Smooth as satin or cotton percale
In a peaceful living room, caressed by the clarity at the end of the day. Yet a fine gourmet event is in the making. The promise of a remarkable memory.
With shellfish: langoustines à la nage, crab or spider crab; or even more subtly, a sea urchin brouillade in its shell.
