Detailed information
Vintage
Ideal weather conditons right up the harvest, sanitary state of the grapes was impeccable and yields were healthy. The 2015 vintage demonstrates remarkable potential and promises to be one of the finest vintages of the past few years.
Harvest began around the 1st of September 2015.
Grape varieties
51% Viognier, 29% Roussanne, 16% Grenache, 4% Bourboulenc
Terroir
Plots selected in the Vaucluse and in the Gard for the complementary nature of their terroirs: stony alluvial terraces and pebbly clay soils (alt. 100/150 m – facing South/Southwest and East/West), resulting in a fine balance between fruity and fresh aromatic notes.
Winemaking
The Roussannes, Bourboulencs and Grenache Blanc were pressed immediately upon arriving at the winery, while the Viogniers underwent a pre-fermentation cold-soak on the skins. Cold-static racking off the rough lees. Beginning of fermentations in tank for the Roussanne and the Viognier prior to transfer to 275-liter Laurus barrels, where they spent 6 months with regular stirring of the lees for the first 3 months. Malo-lactic fermentation was blocked to retain a maximum of fresh acidity.

Laurus
Laurus means ‘Laurel’ in Latin, a Roman symbol of excellence. Here excellence is all about “terroir”: the grapes are grown on parcels selected for their ability to express the very best of each Appellation.
The term “terroir” encompasses a soil, a climate and people. Here it is expressed through sustainable partnerships with wine-growers who share our vision. The perfect combination of grape variey & soil, the precise maturing process in unique 275l. French oak "Laurus" barrels refines the structure, producing complex wines, with plenty of character, beautiful elegance and a long ageing potential.
