GRAPE VARIETIES

TERROIR
This wine comes from Provence, 30km north of the historical town of Aix-en-Provence. The deep soil is a rich mix of rock and clay covered by a shallow layer of limestone, clay and other nutrients. The plots of grapes for this wine are in conversion to organic farming.

WINEMAKING
Traditional with temperature control.

WINETASTING
The wine has a beautiful, luminous pale pink color. The nose seduces with appealing aromas of red and white fruits (raspberry, peach, redcurrant). A little touch of citrus makes this nose very tonic. The mouth is very well balanced and elegant, extremely fresh and fruity. This wine is also mineral, a typical result from this terroir to the north of Aix-en-Provence. The finish is brisk and refreshing.
