Located in the heart of Gascony in the prestigious Bas-Armagnac area, the 28 ha of vineyards, merged around the cellar, spread over slopes on typical loamy-sand soils called “fawn sand”. This terroir, perfectly suited to white grape production, gives birth there to noble vintage, elegant, full of freshness and liveliness Côtes de Gascogne wines. Colour: A superb bright color of medium intensity with orangey glints. Bouquet: The nose resolutely opens up on fruity notes: strawberry, pomegranate, raspberry. Palate: An intense mouth developing into strawberry and candied fruits aromas with a light spicy finish which makes it even tastier. It offers a well balanced freshness and roundness. Rigorous winemaker assessment took place to ascertain the optimum harvest dates for individual plots. Syrah grapes are harvested at perfect maturity, while the temperatures are low in anticipation for cold settling, preserving the vibrant fruit flavors. Upon delivery at the winery, the harvest, constantly protected from oxidation, follows a traditional winemaking process: skin-contact maceration; pneumatic pressing; cold settling; cold liquid stabulation during 8 to 10 days; fermentation at low-temperatures to preserve the wine’s bouquet. Maturation: Between 5 and 6 months on fine lees. Total production: 16 000 bottles. Cellar potential: Drink within 2 years after bottling. Food matches: Serve chilled at about 10°C, with grilled meat, paella. It will delight you on summer vegetables as well as on lightly spicy meals such as tagine, sautéed of lamb with garlic, chicken with olives, ravioles, tomato pies, grilled fishes with herbs.
