Presentation
« A tire d’Aile » is a range of delectable, balanced and elegant wines from the Languedoc region’s classic appellations. Thanks to work in the vineyards that respects both the soil and the vines, we produce healthy grapes with good concentration to the delight of the birds that live in our plots.
Terroir
The grapes come from three very different terroirs: 65% from the Eastern Corbières (a seaside area whose grapes bring freshness and elegance), 20% from the gates of Fitou (a terroir located further south whose grapes provide a beautiful aromatic richness), and 15% from the Corbières Boutenac cru, which brings its depth.
Winemaking
The harvest is done manually, transported whole in 40 to 50 kg containers and poured directly into the vat without crushing or pumping. The maceration lasts 15 days. During pressing, the first presses are added to the free-run wine and the tailings are discarded. Aging is done 40% in oak barrels, including 20% new barrels, and the rest is aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness.
