The goal with this wine was to make an easy-to-drink dry rosé with a good structure, to accompany the rich and gourmet cuisine of the Jerry Ferrer restaurants.

ORIGIN/TERROIRS/ELABORATION

Most of the grapes for this wine come from the Pic Saint-Loup AOC and certain neighbouring areas. The rich terroir of the Mezy family’s Clos des Augustins estate includes some warmer tracts, located on red clay and rolled pebbles. These lots allow superb fruit ripening on the vine, despite the very cool nights in this region located north of Montpellier. Young and old vines planted on different types of terroirs contribute to the creation of this wine, which is the result of direct pressing and special maturing which gives it the patina on the palate that distinguishes it from most rosés. As for all the wines with the Chartier signature, oenologist Pascal Chatonnet is participating with each step of the process, while Frédéric and Pauline Mezy, winemakers from the estate, also helped François Chartier elaborate this wine.
