Harvesting

Only manual harvesting allows us to select the best bunches, some of which are partially or entirely removed. The priority remains quality, hence the need for impeccable raw materials: ripe grapes in perfect health.

Vinification

This product is neither chaptalised nor acidified. During the pressing, the first and last juices are discarded. Only the "heart" (the best juice) will be fermented in barrels. Then comes the period of maturation on the lees (fine deposit of dead yeast, bits of cellulose...) with numerous stirring of the lees.

Tasting

Visual

Pale yellow colour. Clear and bright.

Olfactory

Very intense, powerful and pleasant. Aromas of white fruits such as pear. Some toasted hazelnut notes as well as woody notes.

Taste

Clear opening. Some toasted notes mingle with the william pear aromas. A wine that lingers on the palate with a lot of fat, roundness and intensity.

Ageing

this wine can be kept for 5 to 7 years. Decant at least two hours before serving.

Food and wine pairing

This dry white wine from Gaillac goes well with fish in sauce, white meats and cheeses such as goat cheese, comté or cantal. It can also be served as an aperitif.
