Aromatic and delightfully fruity, this orange wine blends equal parts Grenache Blanc and Grenache Gris. Mellow tannins that perfectly complement the wine's tropical and citrus notes.
Grown in limestone and clay soils and average age of the vines is 40 years. 2 weeks of skin contact (destemmed grapes), light extraction using few punch downs, racking and pressing, completion of malolactic fermentation, minimal addition of sulfites (27ppm), fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks.
Francois Ducrot operates in Lansargues (Languedoc), collaborating with nearby grape growers who are equally committed to eco-friendly farming. He procures organic grapes from the eastern Languedoc region and vinifies them in his Lansargues cellar.
