Read all about it:
A cuvée of heritage and character:A tribute to our great-grandmother, a founding figure of the estate at the beginning of the last century, Prélude reflects both the spirit of our emblematic Cuvée du Papet and the unique potential of an old cru that is still too little known.The result of a rigorous selection of our finest plots, this cuvée highlights the excellence of the vintage.
- Climate: A mild spring encouraged early budburst, followed by a hot, dry summer with temperatures above seasonal normals. The storms of 16 August and the Mistral wind enabled the grapes to ripen perfectly, and they were harvested on 9 September.
- Caractéristiques : This vintage, one of the best of the decade, stands out for its high ageing potential, remarkably fine tannins and aromatic elegance marked by notes of garrigue and intense fruit.
- TERROIR : A natural wealth
- Our vines are located on the right bank of the Rhône, in the villages of Caveyrac, Les Cosses, Les Théz and Mont-Cau, between Saint-Laurent-des-Arbres and Saint-Génies-de-Comolas.
- Soil: Pliocene sand interspersed with pebbles, ideal for expressing the finesse and character of our grape varieties.
- VINIFICATION & REFINEMENT: Respect and precision
- Harvesting: By hand, with rigorous sorting to select only the best berries.
- Vinification: Controlled pumping over and racking for gentle extraction. The press and free-run juices are matured separately before being blended in vats to suit the profile of the vintage.
- Ageing: 100% in tuns after fermentation in concrete and stainless steel vats.
