Winegrower's note
The origins of the langue d'oc' language date back to around 940, in literary texts such as the poem 'La Passion de Clermont'. It subsequently became the Occitan language, a part of European culture transported by the travelling troubadours of the Middle Ages.
Winemaker's note
The grapes are harvested during the night to preserve the freshness of the fruit. Once they arrive at the winery, the grapes are delicately pressed in a pneumatic press. After cold static clarification, low-temperature alcoholic fermentation begins in stainless steel vats. Some of the must is placed in barrels to finish the fermentation process. Malolactic fermentation is not performed, to preserve the wine's vibrancy. The wine is bottled after light fining.
