winemaking

We carefully monitor the fruit maturity and flavor development during the harvest time by tasting the grape berry. The harvest date is specific to the cuvée. The best plots from the Visan and Tulette villages are selected for inclusion in this blend, Grenache, Syrah and Carignan. Great care is taken to ensure fresh fruit flavours. Then the fruit are destemmed and gently crushed. During the fermentation period, temperatures are controlled between 18°C and 28°C. It lasts for 2 weeks to ensure a good balance between soft tannins and fresh fruit flavours. We use only native yeasts, the wine is not sweetened or aromatized in order to protect the typicity of the terroir and the vintage
