Winemaking :
Entirely harvested by hand, this cuvee “Aux Figuiers” (fig trees) perfectly expresses its terroir. The old Grenache vines situated on terraces overlook the Roussillon plain between sea and mountain in the heart of the Aspres.
The long ripening berries allow reaching this optimum end of September. A sorting of grapes and delicate work in the cellar refine what nature gave us the best!
