“A wine with a distinct character, characterized by its freshness and revealing lovely bitter notes”

Aged in a combination of new oak barrels and concrete tanks, this white Châteauneuf-du-Pape offers a beautiful balance of freshness, roundness, and subtle bitterness. On the palate, it reveals notes of flowers, white fruit, melon, and even lemon zest. Perfect with lobster!

Winemaking

Pneumatic pressing after whole-cluster harvesting, followed by settling; the juice is vinified in concrete tulip-shaped tanks. 80% of the blend is fermented in tanks at temperatures between 15°C and 18°C, then aged on the full lees without malolactic fermentation. The remaining 20% of the blend is fermented in 300-liter barrels and then gently stirred with a bâton until the end of December.

Livestock farming

Aged for 6 months on the lees in tulip-shaped concrete tanks (80%) and 300-liter French oak barrels (20%)
