Aroma
The aromas of fresh red berries (raspberry and redcurrant) are
enhanced by slightly peppery and bacon-like aromas.
Palate
An enticing and charming character, the palate opens with fruity
flavours and nuances of charcuterie.
Vinification
10 to 35% of whole grapes macerate in open concrete vats for 10
to 15 days. Punching down and pumping over alternate through-
out the alcoholic fermentation (made with indigenous yeasts).
The must is gravity-loaded into large containers (foudres and
demi-muids) as well as vats for an aging period of 8 to 12 months.
Mass blending before bottling, carried out by gravity, without
fining or filtration.
Food Matching
An unpretentious wine which is a wonderful accompaniment to
country picnics and summer barbecues.
Region Notes
Granites. The plots are cultivated on the upper slopes in the com-
mune of Chavanay.
