Following in the footsteps of Xavier Vignon's Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Anonyme red, here is the organic Anonyme white! A selection of different plots across the appellation, characterized by early ripening and limited yields. This wine has a bright, clear golden color and offers a bouquet of citrus and lavender combined with orange zest. The palate is rich and concentrated, with a pronounced texture but without excess. Its long, fresh finish gives it lightness and structure.

Manuals

Wine making

The Roussanne was harvested very early (end of August 2020) and at a low degree in order to preserve high acidity. Partially vinified in oak barrels, the Clairette and Grenache Blanc are fermented at low temperatures to preserve the minerality of the wine.

Livestock farming

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