Blend of our three terroirs: La Londe, on
micaceous schist; Barbeiranne, on hard,
smoky-gray clay-limestone and Clos Fanny,
schistous like La Londe without 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.
Destemmed and cooled, the harvest is
immediately pneumatically presses at low
pressure.
Fermentation and racking controlled at 17°C
in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats for
15-20 days.
Matured and filtered it is bottled in February.
Dry, with smooth attack, the
acidity is moderate with a fresh feeling
enhanced by the zestiness. The alcohol
is digest only contributing to enrich the
mouthfeel, which is soft, silky, almost leesy.
Its fruity core of peaches, pears, and citrus
is complemented by sapid, slightly bitter
hints on the finish.

An aperitif with friends and family on a terrace on a bright day. The sun’s rays caress the skin, smiles warm the spirit. It’s summertime!
As an aperitif: fresh truffle toast with a drizzle
of olive oil and a pinch of fleur de sel.
With shellfish: grilled lobster smothered in a
butter emulsion.
