Following in the footsteps of Xavier Vignon’s red Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Anonyme, here is the organic white Anonyme! A selection of different plots throughout the appellation, characterized by early ripening and limited yields. This wine, with its brilliant, crystal-clear golden color, offers a bouquet of citrus and lavender combined with a hint of orange zest. The palate is rich and concentrated, with a pronounced texture that is never excessive. Its long, fresh finish lends the wine both lightness and structure.

Manuals

Wine Production

The Roussanne was harvested very early (late August 2020) and at a low sugar level to preserve high acidity; part of the harvest was vinified in oak barrels. The Clairette and Grenache Blanc were fermented at a low temperature to preserve the wine’s minerality.

Livestock Farming

4 months, partly in oak barrels with regular stirring for the Roussanne, and in stainless steel tanks for the Clairette and Grenache Blanc
