The wine is made from approximately 70 year old vines growing on clay and rolled pebbles of limestone in Espira-de-l’Agly.
The vines were planted by Laurent’s grandfather but they purchased the vineyard from a subsequent owner a few years ago.
It is a maceration of Macabeu. This year they made two passes through the vineyard, five days apart and macerated each pick in separate tanks.
The early pick was macerated for four days and the second one for 5 days. After pressing, the wine was aged in fibreglass.
At the start of the palate it is all flowers and fruit but it finishes speaking of the soil, with a steely mineral statement. 10.5% ABV. – Suppliers notes
