Les Artèmes Blanc

Terroir: Mostly come from the plateau of the Upper and Lower Artèmes. Terroir late, altitude (300 meters), exposed south on sandstone molasses soil and limestone lauzes basements. It is the most southerly of our terroirs, the wines are structured, but always on the freshness

Vinification: Harvest totally destemmed. Direct pressing at low pressure. Cold settling for 18th hours. Fermentation at low temperature <13C for 5 weeks: this favors the production of fermentative aromas.

Aging: 50% in stainless steel tanks on fine lees (Viognier and Clairette), 50% in old barrels for 3 months (Roussanne and Grenache blanc).

Tasting: Pale yellow color with green highlights. Complex nose of peaches and pears, with hints of acacia flowers combined with smoky notes. Well-balanced, slightly saline and refreshing on the palate, with an attractive minerality.

Serving suggestion: Can be served with Provençal-style vegetable Tian, ricotta and spinach pasta, Comté cheese.
