Felicette Grenache Noir

The vineyard is planted on the plains and foothills in the south of France, between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean Sea. The area benefits from two distinctive climates that allow the production of a
large diversity and styles of wines: the Mediterranean climate for ripe and juicy wines and the Atlantic climate around Carcassonne for more
structured and mineral wines. Clay – limestone soils, vines trained Cordon de Royat, a plant density of between 4000 and 5000 vines/ha, yield of 75 hl/ha.

The grapes are machine harvested, destemmed and go through different processes to ensure maximum colour and fruit extraction. Some are gently heated to get a beautiful dark red colour and some are cold fermented to get the best possible varietal fruit extraction. The fermentation is then conducted at controlled temperature with gentle pumping overs to
extract only the better tannins. The different pressings are then blended before Christmas and are aged in stainless steel tank to preserve fruit and round tannins.
