JARDIN DES NAUTES

AOP Luberon White 2019
Divider

In ancient Greek, the term ‘Naut’ means ‘sailor or seaman’. In Gaul (France in ancient times), the Nauts were a brotherhood of sailors that navigated the rivers of France. They were ship owners and tradesmen and developed commerce, facilitating exchanges between French cities. This trade enabled winemakers to promote their know-how throughout the country by shipping their wines in large terracotta amphorae.

As skilled merchants the Nauts quickly became rich and brought home many riches. They were also known for building sumptuous mansions with lush gardens filled with unique art pieces and exceptional items

LA POULARDIÈRE

AOP Côtes du Rhône Red 2018
Divider

The name ‘LA POULARDIÈRE’ comes from the nickname given to an old plot of Grenache vines in the Southern part of the Côtes du Rhone appellation. This small vineyard was implanted next to a farm from which the chickens used to come over to dig up worms and eat the harmful insects. In doing so they contributed to maintain the ecological balance of the vine.

We are acutely aware of our environment and the need to preserve the soils. As a result, our wines are produced according to organic agriculture and satisfy strict requirements. We favour the development of living species in the very heart of the vineyards in order to provide the nutriments that are essential to their growth.

We are committed to ensuring the long-term preservation of our exceptional terroir and work with production and vinification methods that rely on the precise management of our water and energy resources. Naturally, we also ensure that all our activities are carried out in harmony with the surrounding wildlife and flora.



Varietals : 65% Grenache, 35% Syrah.

Nature of the soils : clay-limestone alluvium terraces and clay.

Alcohol : 14% vol.

Vinification : the grapes are picked when they have reached optimal phenolic maturity.

Maturing : They are then stemmed and treaded, followed by vatting in concrete vats for approximately twenty days. The vinification method is traditional with extraction using pumping over which frequency is determined when tasting the musts.

Residual sugar : < 3 grams / liter.

Tasting notes : very deep red colour. Aromatic nose revealing ripe fruit, blackcurrant and black cherry. The attack is smooth, then yields silky matter reminiscent of black fruit and spices. Suave and extended finale, combining the complex mellow aromas of black fruits.

Ideal serving temperature : from 16°C to 18°C.
