Idylle 2024
Côtes du Roussillon Villages | White | 2024
Grown in the hills above Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet, this cuvée thrives on black schist soils at an altitude of nearly 280 meters. This terroir lends tension and freshness to this blend of white and gray Grenache and Macabeu.
Hand-harvested, the grapes are pressed as whole clusters and then partially fermented in 500-liter barrels, followed by six months of aging on fine lees. This meticulous process imparts complexity, volume, and elegance to the wine, while preserving a beautiful aromatic expression.
