Degustation

A pale yellow robe with green tints prepares the way for a bouquet of verbena and citrus. The attack has shiny fresh- ness and the aromas centre around crystallised lemon and bergamot. The crunchiness of the Muscat grape is palpable.

PERFECT FOOD PAIRING :
Both refreshing and fruity, this wine is a perfect accompaniment for fruit mousse desserts, white peach soup or red Roussillon apricot tart.

HARVEST

Manual in the first two weeks of September. The bunches were sorted twice manually on a belt and vibrating table. The fruit was pressed directly. Potential alcohol content was 15 to 16%.

WINE MAKING TECHNIQUES

Made in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Care 
was taken to prevent any form of oxidation. Alcoholic fermentation at 18° C. Halfway through, extra alcohol was added (mutage) to the juice.
