Region & Winemaking

Produced by Marilyn Lasserre in Languedoc-Roussillon, France. Made from 100% Cinsault grapes harvested at night to preserve freshness and avoid oxidation. Carefully pressed with only the finest juices selected. After a 24-hour settling period, the clear juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks at 13-15C for 15 days. The wine then ages on its fine lees for at least five months to enhance texture, aroma, and complexity before bottling.
