Terroir
Sourced from a vineyard embraced between the Agly and Têt valleys, this wine is the result of three distinct terroirs: the high terraces of rolled pebbles, the red soils of the hillsides, and the low-altitude sandy-silty arenas.
Winemaking
The grapes are pressed upon arrival at the winery. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in concrete tanks for thermal inertia, and at low temperature, to preserve the aromas.
Ageing
1/3 of the wine is aged on fine lees.
Varietal
Chardonnay : 100%
