- Fine, elegant aromas of apricot, crushed citrus notes and a touch of salted almond give way to a beautifully balanced palate with lovely mineral attack and the full elegance of white fruits on the finish.
Fermentation lasted seven months and occurred with selected yeasts at controlled temperatures in terracotta eggs. The ovoid shape sets the lees into perpetual motion, naturally accentuating the varietal aromas and minerality while requiring minimum intervention from the winemaker. The wine was clarified through cool temperatures and lightly filtered to fully express the terroir's minerality and nuances.

Winery | The Grenache Gris grapes come from the Côtes Catalans, the principal IGP allowing only mono-varietal wines. The vines thrive at an altitude of 350 metres in the Maury terroir, located in the northern part of the Roussillon region. The climate is Mediterranean, strongly influenced by cooling coastal breezes combined with mountain freshness from the foothills of the Pyrenees, which balance the hot, arid summers. The soils are made up of alluvial marls of the Roussillon plain, along with black schist; the latter imparts great aromatic complexity to the wines, characterised by freshness and notes of the garrigue. The vineyard is certified organic, and no herbicides or chemicals are used. Yields are kept low to ensure a good concentration of pure fruit flavours, and the fruit is hand-harvested at optimal maturity. |
