Region: Roussillon

Appellation: Vin de France

Grapes: 90% Mourvèdre, 5% Grenache Noir, 5% white juice from Point Triple

Average Vine Age: Mourvèdre (30 years), Grenache Noir (40 years)

Altitude: 115 to 165 feet (35m-50m)

Soils/Terroir: The Mourvèdre is planted on soils of clay-limestone and schist. The Grenache Noir is planted on clay soils.

Farming: Organic

Harvest: 75% hand harvested and 25% machine harvested – Due to a misunderstanding with the harvest crew regarding the length of the contract, the Domaine was forced to machine harvest a portion of the Mourvèdre. Losing a quarter of the Domaine’s highest production wine is not an option for a young estate of this size, and we wholeheartedly support this decision.

Yield: 35 hl/ha

Vinification: For the Mourvèdre – 75% underwent a 5-day whole cluster fermentation, and 25% was crushed and macerated for 5 days. All the Mourvèdre was pressed on the 6^th day and transferred to stainless-steel tanks to complete fermentation. The Grenache Noir underwent a 7-day whole cluster fermentation in fiber tanks before pressing. The components were blended after the completion of malolactic fermentation. Only the naturally occurring indigenous yeasts were used, and the wine remained on the fine lees until bottling.

Maturation: Aged 5 months in fiberglass tanks on the fine lees. Prior to bottling a low dose of sulfur is added to the wine. The wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered.

pH: 3.55

Total SO2: 15ppm
