Description
Terroir des Aspres, sandy soil with round stones. Sustainable agriculture certified HVE3 (High Environmental Value). PRODUCTION METHODS: Pneumatic pressurisation, fermentation at low temperature in oak, ageing on lees in 500L French oak barrels over 6 months. TASTING: Appearance: pale yellow. Nose: fresh and expressive of white fruits, followed by toasted and vanilla notes. Palate: a lightly oaked, soft character. This wine reveals complex flora aromas. The finish is minerally and slightly iodised, thanks to its ageing on lees, with aromas of fresh spices and brioche.
