Tasting notes
Description : Dry style
Mango & lychee Passionfruit Rich & powerful
Pale pink colour with pronounced lychee reflections,
this wine is intense on the nose revealing notes of mango, lychee,
passionfruit as well as light notes of blackcurrant buds.
On the palate, this is a rich and powerful wine revealing aromas of exotic fruits,
lychee, rambutan and nectarine, with a beautiful length and complexity.
The Sainte-Victoire AOP is one of the coolest sub-regions of Provence.
The wines are subsequently very fresh, lower-yielding and therefore more concentrated.
Grenache and Syrah are the kings here, both conveying superb aromatics.
Guardian of the Provence spirits, the Mont Sainte-Victoire gave birth to a splendid,
uncontested typical terroir.
In reference to the footpath furrowing the south-facing slope of the Mount,
the cuvée Le Pas du Moine invites you to explore the richness
of this magnificent Sainte-Victoire terroir.
From the 2016 vintage, the wine has been certified organic.
The 40 hectares vineyard is composed of the following grape varieties:
30% Grenache noir, 30% Cinsault, 30% Syrah,
5% Cabernet-Sauvignon, 2% Rolle et 3% Ugni Blanc.
The Estate’s wines have been officially certified organic wines since 2016.
The majority of the wines have the Côtes-de-Provence Sainte-Victoire protected designation
which allows a maximal production of 50 hectolitres/ha (vs 55 hectolitres/ha for the Côtes-de-Provence wines).
Night harvests, cold direct pressing, fermentation at low temperature: 14°C and then 18°C at the end of the fermentation.
