Terroir
This Beaumes de Venise takes root in a clay-limestone soil, on the heights of Suzette in the heart of the Triassic Terroir which gives it a great freshness.
In the vineyard
100% manual harvest.
Vinification
The Grenache grapes are picked at phenolic maturity, the berries are lightly crushed to release the first juices. Pigeages are carried out twice a day on all the juices. The addition of Viognier (white grape variety) exacerbates the aromatic profile and brings notes of blond tobacco characteristic of the estate's wines.
Ageing
Aged in concrete tanks for 12 months.
