Terroir & farming

Grapes come from older vines on the Clos des Capucins terroir, a monopole characterized by sand-silt soils with granite pebbles. This terroir promotes earlier ripening, delivering wines with complex aromatics and powerful concentration. The vineyard is farmed organically and biodynamically (Ecocert & Demeter certifications), with short pruning to keep yields low and expression high.

Winemaking

Winemaking emphasizes grape integrity and terroir expression: grapes are gently pressed in whole clusters using pneumatic presses, followed by fermentation with indigenous yeasts in old oak vats. This approach reinforces depth and complexity while preserving the wine’s lively character.

Food pairings

• Best served chilled as an aperitif and with light, refreshing lunches
• Quiche, onion pie, fish terrine, and cheese soufflé
• Light appetizers and grilled chicken
• Sushi or sashimi
