The Cru de Collioure and Banyuls vineyard is located in the extreme south of France at the meeting point between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, under the southern sun. The vines are planted in terraces on schist hillsides, from the seaside to the bottom of the valleys of the hinterland.

Grenache Gris: 55%
Grenache Blanc: 40%
Rolle: 5%

Pressing of whole bunches for Grenache Gris after overnight storage in a cold room, destemmed/crushed for the other grape varieties. Fermentation at regulated temperature to preserve all the freshness of the berries. Fermentation and aging on lees for 20% of the harvest in oak demi-muids (620 liters), to bring structure and spicy notes to the blend.

Color: Sparkling and brilliant, pale yellow tending towards green.
Nose: First nose of pear and orchard fruits with toasted and liquorice notes. When swirled, it is an explosion of freshness brought by guava juice and lime.
Palate: Citrus fruits and their zest bring liveliness as well as a slight final bitterness. A hint of minerality takes us back to our schist terroir.

To be enjoyed as an aperitif with tapas. With seafood, shellfish and grilled fish. Ideal with white meats and poultry. Goat's cheese or pressed cheese (Cantal, Comté).
