Aroma
The nose is enveloping with aromas of candied
citrus, evolving towards lemon verbena leaves.
Appearance
The wine reveals a beautiful peach hue, reminiscent of rose gold.
Palate
On the palate, the wine is clean and reveals notes
of red fruits-strawberries and raspberries. The mid
palate
is tight, fresh and very harmonious.
The wine is delicious, right up to the finel
balanced finish, perfumed with a hint of pomelo.
Vinification
On August 16th, the teams were ready and waiting
to start harvesting in the vineyards of Château
de Selle and Clos Mireille. The harvest had to
be carried out quickly and well to preserve the
freshness of the grapes.
The 2023 harvest was completed on September
28th at Château Romassan.
Vintage Notes
The 2023 harvest took place in three phases. During
the dormant season, between October and March,
there was not enough water to replenish the vines.
The arrival of heavy rains in May and June was a gift
from nature as the vineyards were flowering. July
brought a sharp rise in temperatures, before a brief
period of cool weather in early August. This brief
respite was then followed by an unprecedented
heatwave for this time of year.
Region Notes
The 90 hectares of vineyards
are split between the AOC’s
eight communes and planted
on marl and limestone soils that
are particularly well suited to
Mourvèdre. They are composed of
two main climates.
The grapes grown in the valley
offer fresh, crunchy juice whereas
those grown at higher altitudes
on the terraced hillsides produce
wines with more body and
structure.
