Winemaking

Harvested at the coolest hours of the night, some Grenache and Cinsault are bled, which gives the wine a lot of fat.

Others are pressed directly and bring their freshness. The juices are fermented between 15 and 18 °C in stainless steel tanks, which allows the maximum amount of fruit to be kept.

Food & Wine Pairings

The colour is delicate, brilliant and pale pink.

The nose, intense, delivers floral notes mixed with aromas of peach and apricot.

In the mouth, the attack is fresh, then the fat prevails.

The finish is long and silky.

Food and wine pairing : as an aperitif, a rack of lamb, sea bream a la plancha, small stuffed vegetables.

IGP Pays d'Oc

Grown between the Mediterranean and the mountains, IGP Pays d’Oc varietal wines cover an extensive sun-kissed area from the Camargue to the Vermillion Coast, in the heart of France’s largest wine region which is also renowned for its appellation wines.  

Its climate promotes healthy vines. The IGP Pays d’Oc production area covers the length and breadth of Languedoc-Roussillon:

  • France’s third most sunny region
  • Home to garrigue moorland, pine forests, olive groves, lush meadows, oaks and strawberry trees
  • Promoting synergy with nature
  • Buffeted by 4 regional winds
  • Boasting good soil and weather conditions

Pays d’Oc is such an extensive wine region that it is naturally home to an extraordinary range of soil types, that can vary from sandy terrain along the coast to limestone, schist, clay or stony gravel on the valley floors and hillsides.
