Tech Details

Site: La Lance is the beautiful mountain which closes the Valréas plain to the north. Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc and Viognier are planted at its base. The climate is influenced by the mistral (a strong cold, dry northerly wind of southern France) which gives freshness and the clay soil retains moisture. Cultivation methods do not include use of weedkillers or synthetic products, fertilization is done by use of vegetable compost which helps maintain the biological life in the ground.

Soil: Clay-limestone

Fermentation: Cold settling is followed by fermentation at low temperatures to protect from oxidation.

Aging: Aged for 6 months in stainless steel before bottling.

Sustainability: Certified Organic by Ecocert.
