This wine, with its perfect balance of aromatic power and minerality, has a true southern identity. It has also inherited the style and character of the great Pinot Noir wines produced for decades by Labouré-Roi.
The mainly south-facing vines benefit from maximum sunshine and are planted on clay-limestone soils in 3 different areas: the foothills of the Montagne Noire (Minervois), at the foot of the Cévennes (in the north of the Gard département) and in the upper Aude valley.
The 20-year-old vines grow at altitudes of between 250 and 400 metres, guaranteeing freshness, liveliness and structure.
Sourcing and selection of grapes, musts and juices. Separate vinification of each selected batch. After a pre-fermentation cold maceration to enhance colour intensity and fresh fruit, the individual plots are then vinified separately at a moderate temperature to preserve their character and aromatic freshness. Vatting ends with a post-fermentation hot maceration to refine the tannins and develop the texture. The wines are then aged for 4 months on fine lees before being tasted and blended.
