YEAR: 2025

INFO: The vineyard, which is the most continental in the Corbières appellation, sits at 250 metres altitude and benefits from important diurnal variation, which is perfect for the good development and typicity of Pinot Noir. 

The grapes are hand-picked and sorted, 85% destemmed, with the remaining 15% added in whole clusters as the vat is filled. Fermentation takes place at 25°C during 15 days. Punching down once a day from the beginning of fermentation. Brief pumping over each day during the whole period of alcoholic fermentation. Malolactic fermentation takes place after clarification in concrete vats. 20% is then aged for 6 months in oak

The resulting wines have  a palate of pomegranate, and juicy wild cherry which evolves to spicy white pepper with smoky and vanilla notes. Versatile old world Pinot Noir that's perfect with poultry, mushroom dishes, pork tenderloin and seared salmon.
