Beautiful bright, golden yellow colour. Intense nose mingling notes of fresh fruit
(white peaches and exotic fruits), and notes of white flowers combined with toasted notes. The palate is wellrounded, developing a hint of liquorice, with a good balance of acidity, giving it the freshness and body characteristic of Mediterranean wines. The finish is long an elegant return
2016's climate has been very challenging for French vineyards. Thanks to the prevailing winds' direction, Roussillon was spared from both the spring frosts and storms that have hit the neighboring Languedoc region. The wind was very present, however, and while preventing vine diseases, it also delayed the wine year's works. Winter has been rather cold and marked by inferior-to-average sunlight exposure and rain (117mm). Spring itself was fresh, though offering significant sunshine and abundant rains (244mm). Finally, summer has been the same as in most of France, both very warm and dry. It has thus been necessary for us to pay particular attention to harvest dates and the grapes have had to be selected meticulously, for the subsequent high sugar levels might have hidden maturity insufficiencies. As a consequence, the harvest volumes have gone down 35% and demanded remendous amounts of work. Yet, these peculiar conditions have allowed us to obtain a very healthy vintage that brought up a lot of enthusiasm among our cellar masters and oenologists, thanks to its complexity, richness and the potential it unveiled. mal balance between acidity, and sugars. This year the balance of the white grapes should result in more body on the mid-palate.
