This wine is made in collaboration with a family estate for 4 generations located at the gates of Béziers, facing the Mediterranean Sea. For more than 30 years, François Pugibet and son Vincent have been recognized for the quality of their wines and their innovations (notably in the process of making low and/or alcohol-free wines). Today, Vincent is focusing on the development of new resistant grape varieties that allow for pesticide-free viticulture.
Presentation
Presentation
Want something a little lighter to drink over the summer without compromising on taste and without going completely ‘dry’? Partly in defiance to the recent norms and partly out of respect for the old ways, Vincent & François seek to return to the origins of winemaking and to offer more approachable and balanced wines that are low in or without alcohol.
Location
The fruit for this wine is carefully selected from early ripening and marine-influenced vineyard
sites that express ripe flavors at lower sugar levels.
sites that express ripe flavors at lower sugar levels.
Winemaking
Night-time harvesting, pressing with juice selection, must clarification at low temperatures,
fermentation at 16°-17°C in stainless steel tanks, light before the base wine it is moved on to a
state-of-the-art dealcoholization process. Using proprietary technology, the winery delicately
removes the alcohol molecules from the base wine and bottles it soon after. When they’re done,
all that’s left is the beautiful collection of citrus flavors leading to an enjoyably tart finish.
