Origins of the cuveeShaped by arid conditions and the noble winds of the Mistral and Tramontane, this high-altitude terroir benefits from exceptional natural ventilation, preserving freshness and purity. Limestone, basalt and flint soils bring tension, energy and a clear mineral expression, giving rise to precise, luminous and deeply expressive wines.
TerroirFrom hillside parcels shaped since the Paleozoic era.
VinificationSourced from a rigorous parcel selection at the heart of the high-altitude terroir, this Pinot Noir is harvested at night at optimal ripeness to preserve freshness and purity of fruit. A four-day cold pre-fermentation maceration promotes precise extraction of colour and aromatic expression. Each parcel is vinified separately at moderate temperatures, fully revealing its individuality. The vatting is extended by a seven-day warm post-fermentation maceration, bringing finesse, structure and silky tannins.
AgeingA 4 to 6 month ageing on fine lees, enhances the wine’s complexity and roundness.
Winemaker's notesWith its bright garnet-red colour, this wine expresses a delicate bouquet of fresh cherry, sour cherry and subtle sweet spice notes. The palate is both generous and refined, revealing flavours of small red fruits and spices, carried through to a long, elegant finish.
Food/wine pairingAn excellent match for roasted poultry, including chicken supreme or guinea fowl, with a reduced jus.
Best served between 15 and 17°C.
