The grapes are destemmed and undergo cold maceration using the Ganimede method. This process allows for a delicate extraction of the noble compounds of the grapes, using fermentation gases to constantly agitate the mass of marc and skins within the fermenter.

Dynamic skin maceration takes places in an environment that is saturated with carbon dioxide thus protected from any oxidation and bacterial proliferation. The macerated grapes undergo soft pressing and the free juice is run for wild yeast fermentation. The wine is then racked part into stainless steel tanks and part in 500-liter tonneau barrels. It spends a few months on the lees and then it is bottled.

Pervasive and layered, it offers generous freshness, with notes of peach and apricot, then wisteria and whites blooms. The pale œil de perdrix pink hue gives it an unexpected attractiveness that foretells its fullness to come. Refreshing and fruity, it surprises the palate with unexpected undergrowth and delicate inflorescences. Nice crispiness that leaves an elegant sapidity in the unquestionably brilliant finish.

This wine is rather versatile, from aperitif to proper dinner.Its graceful freshness makes it a good companion to starters, pastas and risottos in general. Excellent paired with seafood and fish dishes. Great to drink all year round, it is a show-stopper wine in the warm summer days.
