“ELLES”… a cuvée born from the family history of the estate and a passion passed down from generation to generation. Nathalie is delighted to introduce you to this Gris, a specialty of the Sable de Camargue wines, featuring a pale pink color enhanced with beautiful mauve highlights. Its nose reveals notes of flowers, wild strawberries, and lingonberries. Well-balanced on the palate, where roundness and freshness blend harmoniously, it opens with flavors of exotic fruits and raspberry. The “ELLES” Gris, a specialty of the AOP Sable de Camargue, stands out with its bright salmon-apricot hue.

This fruity wine with aromas of white fruits (peach, pear, etc.) goes wonderfully with a tapenade salad and all your fish-based salads. It will also be very pleasant as an aperitif. For a more exhaustive presentation, we offer a page specific to this wine.

Vinification

Since the 2012 vintage, the wines have been vinified according to the organic charter, with limited inputs, in particular sulphites, to preserve the natural qualities of the grapes as much as possible. Mechanical harvest with ginner. Protection of the grape during transport to the cellar. Reception of the harvest in a stainless steel drip tray to separate the juices as quickly as possible and limit oxidation. Extraction of musts by pneumatic press with maceration under controlled atmosphere (nitrogen) and temperature. Settling after refrigeration at 10 ° C. Filtration of the lees after maceration and reincorporation of the filtrate for fermentation. Systematic yeasting on clear juice with selected yeasts. Fermentation regulated between 14 and 18 ° C.

Breeding

Aging on lees with regular stirring, to bring roundness and fat. No malolactic fermentation to preserve the liveliness and freshness of the aromas. Rapid withdrawal under CO2. Tangential filtration. Bottled then stored in the cellars at 14 ° C until shipment.

Winemaking

Since the 2012 vintage, our wines have been made in accordance with organic farming standards, with limited use of inputs, particularly sulphites, to preserve the grapes’ natural qualities as much as possible. The grapes are mechanically harvested using a destemmer and protected during transport to the winery. Upon arrival, they are received in a stainless-steel draining hopper to separate the juice as quickly as possible and minimise oxidation. The must is extracted using a pneumatic press, with maceration under a controlled nitrogen atmosphere and at a regulated temperature. The juice is then chilled to 10°C for settling. The lees are filtered after maceration, and the filtrate is reincorporated into the juice for fermentation. Selected yeasts are systematically added to the clarified juice, and fermentation is temperature-controlled between 14°C and 18°C.

Ageing

The wine is aged on its lees with regular bâtonnage (lees stirring) to develop roundness and a fuller mouthfeel. Malolactic fermentation is avoided to preserve the wine’s freshness, vibrancy and aromatic intensity. The wine is racked promptly under CO₂ and then tangentially filtered. Once bottled, it is stored in the winery at 14°C until dispatch.
