Winemaking

Manual harvests, followed by in-vat maceration for 4 hours. The temperature rigorously maintained at 14°. Pressing is gentle. The press juices are separated. The next 24 hours are devoted to the natural decanting of the juice, to eliminate all undesirable herbaceous or mineral particles. Alcoholic fermentation at 20°C. Malolactic fermentation blocked, to preserve intact all its freshness. The wine is stored in vats before bottling.

Typically Provençal, it remains a benchmark. The white wine offers up wonderfully intense floral aromas, the rosé is very fruity and the red still supple and easy to drink.
