TERROIR: Older vines in our monopole Clos des Capucins vineyard are composed of sand silt soil on granite pebbles. The grapes growing on this terroir ripen a lot earlier, producing wines with complex aromatics and a potent concentration.

FARMING: Organic and Biodynamic (certified by Ecocert & Demeter)
Short pruning of the vines to keep yields low.

PICKING: Hand-picked at optimum maturity to reinforce the aromatic expression and body of the wines.

WINEMAKING: Gently pressed in whole clusters in pneumatic presses, fermentation with indigenous yeasts (element of the terroir, enhances depth and complexity in the wines) in old oak vats.

TASTING NOTES:

Tasty with turkey or pork sausages, or even pan-fried halibut with fresh tarragon. Pairs well with grilled salmon, white meat, poultry, lightly spicy or sweet and sour dishes, risotto with mushrooms, Asian-influenced cuisine, and hard cheeses.
