Grand Cru Vaudésir Domaine
Location
Appellation of 15,4 hectares located between Valmur and Les Preuses, with a dual exposure: the northern part, very well-oriented to the south, and the southern part oriented to the west. This climate produces wines full of finesse and elegance.
Terroir
Very steep terrain, more clayey than calcareous. A plot of 1.20 hectares, representing 8% of the total appellation, is entirely south-facing.
Winemaking
Application of the principle of gravity to avoid any pumping, which could alter the quality of the wine. Short-duration pneumatic pressing (1.5 to 2 hours) for a delicate separation between the solid and liquid parts of the grapes. The vinifications are carried out in stainless steel vats. Aging lasts 19 months, including 5 to 6 months on fine lees in French oak barrels for 35% of the blend. The aging process finishes in small stainless steel tanks.
Tasting
Fresh and refined nose with floral and fruity fragrances.
On the palate, it stands out with particular subtlety: a delightful blend of nervosity and softness. Airy and round, it is very charming from a young age.
