Presentation
"Paparotier" is the Provençal name for the hackberry tree. This centuries-old tree stands proudly at the heart of the Chabran family estate, having witnessed generations of winegrowers. Today, Claude and his son Pierre continue this legacy, cultivating their Muscat Petits Grains vines with the utmost respect for their environment. From vine to bottle, every step has been carefully considered within an eco-design approach, creating a Muscat that is certified organic.
The vintage
2024 has been full of weather challenges. Spring brought disease pressure, summer droughts reduced yields, and heavy rains in September added to the difficulties. Even so, the great quality of the wines reflects the skill, dedication, and great adaptability of our Artisans winegrowers and winemakers.
Terroir
Sand, marl, and clay-limestone soils
Winemaking
Manual harvest at the coolest hours of the day. On arrival at the cellar, grapes are carefully cooled down to 10°C to preserve their aromas. Fermentation takes place at a low temperature and is stopped by "mutage" (addition of pure neutral alcohol) to maintain a certain level of natural sugar.
