Winemaking and ageing
Harvesting is carried out by hand and the different grape varieties are picked separately. The grapes are cooled to 8°C and immediately pressed gently in order to extract the finest juices. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures and lasts around 2 weeks. Mid-way through fermentation, part of the must is transferred to new French oak barrels for 6 months. The wine is then aged on fine lees with regular stirring (bâtonnage).
Tasting note
The colour is a beautiful golden hue. The nose is
very complex and extremely fragrant, revealing aromas
of hawthorn, almond and floral notes of violet
and yellow fruits of mango and apricot. The
oaky side of this cuvée is very delicate with notes
of gingerbread and tobacco. The palate is rich and
smooth with a great deal of body, amplitude and a
beautiful freshness.
Storage
Keep away from sunlight and at a constant temperature

Your questions about our wines
Each product page provides a food and wine pairing suggestion suited to the cuvée. Our online tasting assistant can also advise you based on your menu.
The ageing potential depends on the cuvée and vintage — it is specified in this wine's technical sheet. In general, our wines for ageing and fine wines can be kept for more than 10 years, or even over 100 years for our fortified sweet wines, whilst our lighter cuvées, intended to be enjoyed young, are best appreciated within 2 to 3 years of purchase.
The alcohol content (% vol.) varies by cuvée and vintage; it is listed in the product’s technical data sheet, below the description.
The majority of our red, white and rosé wines are dry. Our natural sweet wines (Rivesaltes, Maury...) and certain crémants are sweet or semi-dry. The style (dry/sweet) of this cuvée is specified in its description.
The grape varieties, appellation and terroir of origin are indicated in this product’s technical data sheet.
Like almost all wines, our cuvées contain sulphites (naturally present during fermentation, sometimes added in small quantities as a preservative). Details (“no added sulphites”, level, etc.) are specified on this product’s technical data sheet and on the back label.
