Tasting notes
Description
The vineyard of Lesquerde is constituted of hill top plains and slopes which are made of granitic soil. Its 350m altitude provides it a unique terroir. Each plot is hand-harvesting between 15th September and 15th October. This is a late terroir because of the altitude and nature of soils. The grapes are destemmed and maceration lasts around 4 weeks. Extractions are carried out by pumping-over. Temperatures don’t exceed 32°C. 10% of the wine was aged in oak casks and the balance in concrete tanks.
The 67-acre L’esquerda vineyard takes its name from the small commune of Lesquerde in the Agle Valley just a few kilometers west of Maury. L’esquerda vineyard lies at an elevation of 350 meters above sea level and the soils consist mainly of granite. This part of the Roussillon enjoys mild winters, little rain, hot summer temperatures and windy conditions. All of this adds up to prime growing conditions with very few disease pressures.
