Description

Terroir: the plots are located on three terraces, facing east at an altitude of 120m in Caux. Soil of basalt scree, silt and Villafranchian gravel.

Harvest: manual, yield 20 hl/ha.

Vinification & Maturing: de-stemming (without crushing), and vatting by gravity. Traditional fermentation with some delestage and pigeage, followed by a 14-day maceration. Aged in concrete tanks.

Tasting : Deep purple colour. On the nose, notes of small black fruits, liquorice and garrigue. On the palate, this wine is round and generous, balanced by a nice freshness. The finish is on black fruits and sweet spices.

Appellation : The cuvée "Les Trois Terrasses" is claimed as IGP simply because of the dominance of carignan in the blend. The whole of our estate is in AOC Languedoc.
