Technical sheet written by the domaine

 
TERRIOR: 
Plots located in the municipality of Orange on the lieu-dit “SAINTE CARDILLE” as well as on Saint Laurent des Arbres, right bank of the Rhône on the lieux-dits “GISSAC” and “LE CLAU”. Terroir of fine sand very rich in quartz grains, thus conferring finesse and softness to the wine.  
 
VINIFICATION:
The grapes are hand-harvested, with a very strict sorting to select only the best berries. The choice of harvest date is essential to be as precise as possible regarding ripeness. The vinification is then conducted with some pump-overs and rackings without seeking maximum extraction. Press juice and free-run juice are aged separately in concrete tanks and then blended after a few months and stored in tanks and foudres. The percentage of containers varies depending on the profile of the vintage.
