Vinification of Colombard / Gros Manseng from Maison Marcellin

The grapes for this exceptional wine come from carefully tended vineyards where both Colombard and Gros Manseng vines grow. The grape varieties thrive on calcareous and well-aerated soils, creating optimal conditions for balanced ripening. The vines benefit from a moderate climate with clear differences between day and cool nights. This preserves the freshness and aromas of the grapes. Harvesting is done entirely by hand to select only the best ripe grapes. This ensures maximum quality and fruitiness in the production.

At the winery, a gentle processing method is employed, starting with a delicate pressing to extract only the finest must. Vinification takes place under temperature control, with the must fermented cool to preserve and intensify the fruity aromas. Part of the wine matures briefly in stainless steel tanks to retain pure freshness and fruity lightness. Another portion undergoes a subtle oak treatment in small barrels, adding depth and complexity to the wine without overshadowing its natural fruitiness. Finally, the wine is carefully filtered and stabilized to guarantee its brilliant clarity and freshness until enjoyment.
