Notes of blackberry jelly and aromatic herbs emerge once the wine has had a chance to breathe. Soft, velvety tannins, with a balance of concentration and complexity are evident on the palate.
VINEYARDS: Lower terraces of the Rhône, old alluvial deposits, pebbles over Creteceous marl.
VINTAGE: This vintage, which was very complex due to the effects of the heatwave and the cumulative water shortfall (230mm in total), lent our rosés a pale colour, a tight nose and a firm palate with some lovely tart notes and a gorgeous freshness imparting character. Taking advantage of the sunshine and fairly cool temperatures at the foot of Mont Aurélien, Esquirol, shows a lovely aromatic complexity, with intense notes of red and black fruits, and great ageing potential. For the whites, the exotic fruits combined with notes of white flowers and a lovely acidity further heighten the expression of the Clairette from our Les Infirmières Single Vineyard.
WINEMAKING: Vinification in rough concrete tanks. The harvested grapes are totally destemmed. Fermentation with native yeasts. Progressive increase of temperature to 28-30°C. 4-5 weeks’ vatting with minimalist extraction resulting in a passive infusion and stirring of the lees during the last 3 weeks. This wine is matured for around 18 months in rough concrete tanks.
