Presentation
In Greek mythology, "Elysée" represented a paradise of eternal peace and happiness, reserved for heroes. Inspired by this symbol of perfection, the "Elysée" range brings together single-varietal wines from the tranquil and sun-kissed terroirs of the Pays d’Oc, in the south of France. Each of these wines embodies the expertise of our winemaking heroes, and we hope it brings you, as the legend suggests, a small dose of happiness.
Terroir
This wine comes from the Grenache grape variety, grown on vines planted in the clay-limestone soils of Languedoc, between Montpellier and Sète, just a stone's throw from the Mediterranean coast. Grenache, a grape variety particularly well-suited to arid areas, thrives in this hot, dry, and sun-drenched climate.
In the vineyard
Yields are low (65hl/ha).
Winemaking
The clusters are pressed directly to extract the juice, followed by careful settling to obtain a clear juice. This juice is then vinified like a white wine and fermented at low temperature (15°C). For this Grenache, malolactic fermentation is not carried out, thus preserving all its freshness.
Varietal
Grenache : 100%
