history
Famous for its bell tower and quintessentially Provençal alleys, the village of Visan is also a viticulture hotspot. With its hillside vineyards and the most northern geographical location in the region, similar to the Cru Vinsobres, the Visan appellation captivates with the freshness and elegance of its wines.
Vineyard
Soil of pebbles & limestone gravels on south-east facing slopes.
Winemaking
Traditional vinification with a maceration period of about 15 days. Fermentation temperature is controlled between 82.4 and 86°F.
Tasting notes
Floral notes like lavender and violet, combined with black fruits like blackcurrant, are wrapped in always silky tannins and will gracefully evolve into garrigue and undergrowth aromas over the years.
Food pairing
Serve at room temperature (60.8-64.4°F) with grilled red meats, in particular, but it will also nobly complement the finest dishes.
