The Little White Tour AOP Ventoux near Carpentras

Harvested at the beginning of September, the grapes are directly mixed in the press, we take care to pick the grapes at night so that the harvest is as fresh as possible.
Bourboulencs and grenaches are collected with a probable degree of 13.5 degrees while later clearers are harvested around 11.5 degrees. Which gives us a rather light wine in alcohol, 12 degrees. A slow, low-pressure pressing allows us to extract as much juice as possible without pressing the seeds that would bring a green and astringent side to the wine. The selected yeasts are integrated after 36 hours of cold clearing (8-10 degrees) to obtain the clearest juice possible.
The fermentation phase lasts 21 days for a total transformation of sugars by yeasts. During this phase a daily aeration of the vats with an air cane takes place, this allows us to put the lees of the wine back in suspension to avoid any aromatic deviance and promotes the extraction of fresh fruit aromas by bringing oxygen to the Yeast.
The ageing of this wine is carried out in concrete vats for 5 months. Filtered at the beginning of February, the Petit Tour Blanc 2017 is bottled on 15/02.

Harvested at the end of September, the grapes are directly put in vats, we take care to vinify separately the two grape varieties that make up this blend.
The selected yeasts are integrated after 24 hours of cold passage for an extraction of tannins and colors while delicacy.

Syrahs are vinified without ever the berries being crushed. Thanks to a pump without a rotor, we are able to vinify these grapes for three weeks with lightness, a daily winding and unloading allow us to extract the color without ever the seeds coming out of the berries. This brings a wine that is gentle and delicate with tannins, the vast majority of which come from the carignans.
