Description

GENERAL INFORMATION

Grape: 100% Chardonnay

Soil types: The vineyards are located on deep soils on the edge of the Camargue. The soils are sand-dominant.

Vineyard management: The wire-trained vines are given drip irrigation in the spring because the soils drain well. The grapes are picked by machine.

Winemaking: After being harvested by machine, the grapes go straight to the pneumatic press with a blanket of inert gas. After thorough cold settling, alcoholic fermentation occurs by rapid refrigerated yeast inoculation at 18°C. Malolactic fermentation follows its entire course. With its hallmark Chardonnay varietal aromas, the wine then ages on fine lees. Bottling takes place rapidly after the winemaking process with the wines transferred under a blanket of inert gas
