Charles Roux Blanc de Blanc Demi Sec 750ml

  750 ml bottle. 11,5 % vol.

Grape: 100% Chardonnay

Vineyard: Young plantation. Located in high altitude, vines are prematurely harvested
then, grapes keep the freshness and the characteristics adapted to sparkling wines.
Geology: Clay-limestone soil.
Vinification: After the pressing, grapes musts are cleaned out and prepared under cold
conditions during 24 hours. The fermentation takes place in low-temperature conditions.
For a more intense freshness, the malolactic fermentation is not realized. Wines are then
taken away and raised on lees, before being stuck and filtered to prepare them for the
second fermentation.
Second fermentation and ageing: We stabilize wines by cold process to avoid any
tartaric haste. The second fermentation is generated by the addition of yeasts and sugar.
It takes place at 18°C in stainless steel vats in order to ensure optimum homogenization.
During the second fermentation, our vats are provided with an agitator so that yeasts and
sugars are in suspension. Just before the bottling, the wine is filtered under isobarometric
pressure with microns filters.
Tasting:
“This sparkling releases fruity peach and apricot aromas on the nose. The wine
shows soft and pleasant palate. The bouquet is really full body and bubbles are
smooth.
