Tasting notes
Appearance:
golden yellow colour with green lights and brilliant.
Nose:
fresh, with roasted notes, slightly of brioche, aromas of white-flesh fruit, fennel, anise and honeysuckle.
Palate:
the attack is fresh, suave and well-balanced. The wine is dense with a great persistency, and slightly roasted and aniseed aromas.
Grape variety/varieties:
Marsanne
Harvest:
The crop is hand-harvesting.
Soil:
The grapes are grown on a clay-limestone soil over a granitic base. The clay gives the wine power, whilst the limestone adds more elegance, giving the wine an almost ethereal character.

Les raisins sont pressés en grappes entières. La fermentation est thermo-régulée en fûts à 17°C en levures indigènes. Un bâtonnage régulier est effectué.
Ageing:
The wine is aged in 600 litre-barrels for 8 months, and then for 2 months in vats.
