Esteban 2021
Rhône Valley - Vin de France
Tasting notes
Appearance:
pale gold with anise tints. Copious fine bubbles.
Nose:
bursting with freshness. Notes of citrus and chilled yellow-fleshed and stone fruit.
Palate:
Tangy on entry, freshness and good balance on the palate, elegantly coated by the bubbles. Notes of grapefruit peel, bergamot and apricot. Tasty, saline finish.
Sommelier's advice: Langoustines a la plancha
Grape variety/varieties:
100 % Viognier.
Harvest:
Clay, siliceous pebbles, calcareous gravel and loess. Areas with granitic leptynites (Gneissic metamorphic rock).
Soil:
Early harvesting by hand to preserve the taste and aromatic freshness of the varietal.
Vinification:
Direct pressing of the entire bunches, followed by the selection of the best juices. Settling. Fermentation in low-temperature vats (12°C) until the wine reaches around 9% alcohol. Bottling followed by natural continuation of the fermentation (i.e. “prise de mousse” is achieved without the addition of external sugar) until the sparkling wine reaches around 10.5 % final alcohol.
Ageing:
2-3 months ageing in bottle on the lees (referred to as “sur latte”) after the fermentation is complete.
Alcohol content:
9.5%
