Presentation
La Cour des Dames wines pay tribute to an illustrious period in Occitan culture. The troubadours, celebrated poet-musicians, devoted themselves to lyric art and courted ladies. Using their oratorical talents at sumptuous banquets served in their honour, they also introduced their audiences to wine tasting. By combining wines, gastronomy, music and poetry they were the precursors of a certain Mediterranean art of living that has lasted to the present day.
Terroir
This Pinot Gris reflects the diversity of the terroirs of Pays d'Oc. Influenced by the Mediterranean climate, this wine fully expresses its potential in a unique balance between tension and aromatic richness.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested late at night when the temperature is cooler. This delicate grape variety is carefully pressed to obtain a very clear juice. Vinification at low temperature followed by quick racking after alcoholic fermentation preserves the fruit's finesse.
