Estate
As early as in II BC, the Romans settled on the Ligurian lands that has been colonised four centuries earlier by the Phoceans who founded the city of Massalia, Marseille. They developed winegrowing in the region and created the Provincia Romana: Provence. The terroir of the appellation 'Cotes de Provence' presents a complex geology. Two main geological features coexist in the Cotes de Provence: limestone to the north and west and crystalline to the south and east. The western and northern parts of the Cotes de Provence are composed of foothills and limestone ridges sculpted by erosion. To the east, the crystalline massifs of Maures and Esterel stand facing the sea. These are composed in part of rocks of eruptive origins. This wine is the result of a rigorous production method applied by some of our best partner vine-growers. Blending and maturing is ensured by our teams, mindful of constantly offering the very best of the appellation.
Vinification
They are picked in the freshness of the night at their ideal ripeness between sweetness and acidity and immediately cold-pressed. Only the first juices are retained from the press to ensure an optimal clear color. This is followed by cold clearing and low-temperature fermentation in stainless steel vats to preserve the fruity flavors. Finally, they are placed on lees to age after fermentation with occasional stirring to make the wine denser and more complex.
Technical Data
The main varietal used in Manon wine is Grenache. It brings fat, ampleness and potency to the wine. The blend is complemented with Cinsault that confers freshness, finesse and fruitiness.
Finally, our oenologist adds a touch of Syrah to enhance the color and structure of the cuvee.
Tasting Notes
A clear and shiny pink color. The nose opens on flavors of white flowers (honeysuckle) and stone fruit (peach). The mouthfeel is rich, potent and fresh with remarkably long lasting flavors.
