Presentation
Located in Provence, in Vidauban, Domaine Des Feraud is an emblematic property of the region, specializing in the production of elegant and structured rosé wines. With a vineyard of 25 hectares, the estate benefits from a terroir of sands and rolled pebbles, giving its wines great finesse and beautiful minerality. The vines are cultivated organically, with particular attention to biodiversity and soil preservation. The harvest is done at night to preserve the freshness of the grapes and ensure optimal aromatic expression. The rosés from the estate reveal subtle aromas of citrus, red fruits, and white flowers, with a fresh and balanced palate. A domain that perfectly embodies the elegance of great rosés from Provence.
Winemaking
Féraud's sparkling wine is crafted using the traditional (Champenoise) method, involving a second fermentation in bottle lasting at least 24 months. There are two distinctive features in the production of our Annrosé:
First, we apply the “Provençal Method,” which helps preserve freshness and lightness in the wine. Unlike the traditional Champenoise method, which adds yeast and sugar for the second fermentation (raising alcohol content and weight), the Provençal method involves reserving part of the must from the base wine and freezing it. This frozen must is then reintroduced into the bottle for the second fermentation instead of adding sugar. As a result, the sparkling wine retains a “normal” alcohol content, similar to a still wine.
Second, our Annrosé is a Brut Nature, meaning no sugar is added after disgorgement a style also known as “Zero Dosage.”
The Provençal method is still experimental, and these wines currently have no AOC/AOP status. However, due to growing international interest in sparkling wines from Provence, we hope to gain a dedicated designation such as “Rosé Effervescent de Provence” within the next two to three years.
