Grown in the hills above Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet, this cuvée thrives on black schist soils at an altitude of nearly 280 meters. This terroir lends tension and freshness to this blend of white and gray Grenache and Macabeu.
Hand-harvested, the grapes are pressed whole and then partially fermented in 500-liter barrels, followed by aging on fine lees for six months. This meticulous process gives the wine complexity, body, and elegance, while preserving its beautiful aromatic expression.
