Languedoc

NeW
This Pinot noir terroir d’altitude is the latest
wine in a premium range of vintage varietal wines.
it is an intense wine from a selected plot on the
Jurassic limestone hillside on soil that is rich in flint
and with a climate ideally suited to the Pinot noir
grape, with cool nights and dry, windswept days.
This distinguished wine is characterized by elegance
and vigor, with intense notes of red berries and
sweet spices.
The 2018 vintage
This was a fine vintage marked by alternating periods
of rain and sunshine throughout the vegetative cycle
which nourished the vines correctly and produced a
good balance of sugar and acidity, enabling them
to reach optimum ripeness. The wind helped blow
away any threat of disease and helped naturally
concentrate the grapes. Cool september nights were
perfect for integrating aromas and polyphenols.
The grapes were harvested at night to preserve all their
freshness. Vinification was adapted to the vintage
with four days of cold pre-fermentation maceration
to encourage an intense color and an aromatic vigor.
Fermentation at a moderate temperature ensured
gentle extraction, then six months in wood brought
finesse and complexity to the wine.
Available in France and internationally from wine
