Vinification
Ancestral method is used. After harvest, the grapes are rapidly pressed and placed in low-temperature vats (similar to how the ancient Vonconces kept jars in the icy waters of their local rivers). The partially fermented must is bottled to ferment further. Disgorging at least six months after bottling, once the alcohol content has reached 7 to 9%.
Pairings
This is an ideal wine for all desserts and ice creams, and is very interesting with foie gras. It is especially suitable for daytime meetings and cocktail parties. A great breakfast wine!
