La Londe grey micaceous schists, ranging
from ochre to red, with a laminated
appearance veined with white quartz.
Under maritime influence.
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 comes from plots of
vines in an impeccable state of health. The
grapes are destemmed, chilled, and then
fermented in stainless steel tanks for 20
days. After the alcoholic fermentation over
8 days, malolactic fermentation follows very
quickly.
The grapes are vinified traditionally
with rigorous attention to handling and
oxygenation. Grapes are vinified separately
to be blended after a 4 month ageing period
in stainless steel tanks.
Bottled in February. No sulphites added at
the reception of the harvest, nor before the
alcoholic and malolactic fermentation.
A deep violet colour.
The nose needs to breathe in order to open up to mouth-watering aromas of wild blackberry, black cherry and garrigue. A clean, concentrated ensemble with a hint of cocoa and almost stony notes of graphite.
Dry wine with a ripe opening. The acidity is gentle and restrained. The fruit delivers blackberries and cherries complemented by Southern aromatics, licorice for the wild undertone.
Like a powder, velvety and light
A generous and refreshing interlude, the premise of an evening we’ll cherish for years to come.
With fish: serve chilled, with red mullet fillets à l’escabèche.
