What They Say
Careful harvest and clement weather after a dry and warm summer are the elements that every winemaker dreams of. After the harvest, the grapes are kept in the cold in order to bring out all the aromas. The juice is selected and then fermented at a low temperature (again, to optimize the flavours) before being left to age for a few months before bottling. The goal is to preserve the refreshing acidity of the wine while achieving a beautiful length of finish.
About The Producer Domaine de l'Aumonier
In 1996, Sophie and Thierry created Domaine de l’Aumonier, named after Sophie’s grandparents. The name is quite symbolic, as the vines were first planted and cultivated by her grandparents. They purchased about 10 hectares of vineyard from a retiring winemaker. They started with no equipment, no clientele, and limited resources, bu they shared a common desire and with Thierry’s expertise and knowledge of winemaking, they strived to produce excellent wines.
