Discover the grape variety: Mourvaison
Simple, light and fruity reds with a lightly coloured clear ruby hue, soft tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, showing understated aromas of red fruits. Discreet, rustic Provençal profile. Almost disappeared, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, it testifies to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the Provençal vineyard. Native French black variety from Provence, formerly grown in the south-east.

The word of the wine: Extraction
All the methods (pumping over, punching down) that allow the colour and tannins to be extracted from the grape skin during maceration, before fermentation begins. It is also possible to macerate after fermentation, but gently, so as not to extract the tannins from the seeds, which are greener. Because of its solvent power, alcohol favours extraction.
