La Clape has preserved its limestone soils from its Pyrenean heritage. L'Hospitalet enjoys one of the sunniest climates in France, and the sun's rays give the wines a uniquely luminous balance. Biodynamic viticulture allows the full expression of this resonance between the environment and the terroir, between the richness of the fruit and the tension of the structure. The wines have a freshness and salinity characteristic of limestone terroirs.
The Grand Vin Blanc is a unique blend of the local and emblematic La Clape grape variety, Bourboulenc, a historic variety native to the Massif de la Clape, with Grenache Blanc, Viognier and Vermentino.
Part of the wine is aged in barrels (70%) and the rest in vats to preserve freshness.
The red Grand Vin is a blend of the best plots of Syrah, Mourvèdre and Grenache Noir. Each is vinified separately, and the blend is made in February. The wine is then aged in barrels for twelve months. Bottling takes place
on a fruit day of the lunar calendar to respect the rhythms of biodynamic viticulture. The terroir of marl and hard limestone gives both white and red wines a freshness and a salivating mouthfeel that indicate a very interesting ageing potential.
