The colour is pale, luminous, with a salmon-like tinge. On the nose, the aromas are of ripe pears, raspberries and pomegranates. To the mouth the flavours are fresh and delicate, and linger on with a smooth and fruity finish.
This cuvée is the result of a blend of wines that mainly come from the commune of SainteCécile-les-Vignes and Rochegude. Average production: 10,000 bottles (75 cl.) per year. Grape Varieties : Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault are the main varieties of the blend. When they reach the winery, the grapes undergo a short period of cold maceration for about 8 to 18 hours, in order to extract colour and fruit flavours. Run-off and press juices are blended at once before the fermentation, which lasts between 8 and 10 days at a maximum temperature of 64°F (18°C). The wine is kept in stainless steel tanks to avoid any oxydation. Bottling takes place after fining and filtering.
90 Points, Josh Raynolds - Vinous Magazine
"Light, bright orange. Spiced-accented cherry, raspberry, peach and tangerine aromas are complemented by a building floral nuance. Concentrated and sappy on the palate, offering juicy red berry, pit fruit and floral pastille flavours that slowly turn sweeter on the back half. The tangerine notes returns on the long, penetrating finish, which hangs on with very good tenacity."
