Côtes de Provence AOC 2020 Le Paradou

The vineyard from which this Côtes de Provence comes to life is located in Aix-en-Provence, at the foot of the Sainte Victoire Mountain, immortalized by the painter Cézanne in over 70 paintings. The vines are grown on limestone soils and red clayey sands located at an average altitude of 300 meters above sea level.

The harvest takes place manually, in the early hours of the morning. The bunches are cooled before being subjected to soft pressing. The must must be kept at a low temperature for clarification. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 14 ° C. The wine is then racked and filtered.

At sight, the Côtes de Provence has a beautiful bright pale pink color, the nose recalls hints of berries, citrus and floral notes. The sip is lively, fresh, energetic and very balanced, with crunchy notes of white flowers and exotic fruit and a mineral and dry finish.

Perfect as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to Provencal specialties such as ratatouille or "farcis" (stuffed vegetables), grilled fish or white meats. It also goes very well with exotic cuisine.
