La Demoiselle
The whole, hand-picked grapes are placed in vats in which carbonic maceration lasts for 15 days at a controlled temperature, only for Carignan.
For Grenache and Mourvèdre, classic vinification under a controlled temperature.
The grape varieties are vinified separately. The blending of the 3 grape varieties is effective when the malolactic fermentation is finished.
Le Clos du Centurion
The grapes from 4 micro-plots (representing 4 ha in total) are picked manually.
Pressing is slow and delicate. Clos du Centurion is made from century-old Carignans, vinified in carbonic maceration.
For Grenache and Mourvèdre, classic vinification under controlled temperature.
The wine rests for 6 months in vats before being put in to French oak barrels.

Saignée rosé. The grapes are harvested partially by hand and partially by machine.
