Tasting
A pale pink, brilliant color with raspberry highlights.
The nose of the Palma rosé 2023 is quite intense, with indulgent notes of strawberry and candy. A delicate toasted aroma is also noticeable.
On the palate, the fresh red fruit and confectionery aromas are captivating. The finesse and spice of the Syrah, along with the roundness of the Grenache, are evident.
The barrel aging particularly enhances this cuvée, giving it a rich creaminess, fine tannins, and a beautiful finish.

The winemaker’s corner
Terroir: Clay-limestone soils.
Average vine age: 10 years
First, we harvest the two grape varieties separately, according to ripeness and tastings. Thanks to the morning freshness during harvest, we are able to preserve the juice from oxidation. In addition, the vibrant must allows us to recover the first juice and cool it immediately. We then proceed with direct maceration in the press under inert gas and gentle pressing. The must is then cold-settled before fermentation at low temperature. After fermentation, we blend the wine and place a portion of the blend in 400-liter new French oak barrels. Finally, we perform bâtonnage every 10-12 days to enhance the aromatic complexity and structure of the wine.
Aging: Aged in new French oak barrels for 4-6 months for 100% of the cuvée.
For the delicate aging of the PALMA cuvée, we specifically chose to work with the “Perle Blanche” barrel from Nadalié. This barrel is crafted from centennial oak trees from the forests in central France. It is then exposed to sun and wind, followed by a long, gentle toasting process that gives it a delicate, slightly fruity aromatic finish.
Cellaring Potential: 2 years.
