MARRENON, Les Iconiques, Inventa | Les Vallons, 2022
Presentation
Inventa, which means "discovery" in Latin, is an invitation to be surprised by the exceptional potential of some of our vineyard parcels. This meticulous plot work, carried out over the years, reflects the great terroir within these cuvées.
Terroir
The Vallons shape in resonance a softer landscape of the southern slopes of the Luberon massif. Often made up of stony conglomerates and pebbles.
Winemaking
The harvest of the two grape varieties, Vermentino and Grenache Blanc, takes place at the same time, the first week of October. Fermentation and maturation are done entirely in new barrels.
Ageing
The lees within barrels is stirred in order to magnify the wine while maintaining its aromatic complexity, richness and freshness. It takes two years of aging to reach the pinnacle of Inventa Les Vallons' excellence.

Clairette
Grenache blanc
