VINIFICATION
After pressing, the must is coldsettled for 48 hours. Only the indigenous yeasts are used for the fermentation which occurs at a temperature between 18 and 20°C.

AGEING
30% of the wine is fermented and aged in oak barrels (demi-muids), the rest remains in stainless steel vats. The two wines are blended before bottling, during the spring following the harvest.

TASTING
Colour: straw yellow colour with green tints.
Nose: expressive, aromas of citrus, stone fruit (white peach), nice mineral expression of the terroir of Saint-Péray.
Palate: lively attack, the wine is very long and mineral. Salty note on the finish.
