Vineyard management
Low-trained vines, soil cultivation, partial grass cover, sustainable viticulture, HVE3 certified, de-leafing, manual harvesting, and grape sorting in the vineyard.
Vinification
Rigorous sorting at the winery. Whole-cluster pressing. Must cooling, settling, sulphiting. Fermentation carried out directly in 228-litre oak barrels. Daily bâtonnage during fermentation, longer if the vintage requires.
Ageing
10 months in oak barrels, one-third of which are new. Wines are blended in stainless-steel vat for one month before bottling. Fining and filtration are performed to enhance clarity and aromatic precision.
Bottling
At the estate, in “Cétie Évolution” bottles with DIAM 10 technical closures.
Tasting notes
Pale gold colour. Elegant nose with notes of creamy apple and nectarine, underpinned by a fresh touch of vanilla. The palate is fruity, vibrant and refined, with flavours of juicy apple, peach, pear, and a hint of toasted almond on the finish. Good length.
Food & wine pairings
Creamy fish dishes, shellfish, foie gras, and strong-flavoured cheeses.
