Jaillance - Méthodes ancestrales de vininfication

Historical wine-making methods

A terrain that is limited along the length of the Drôme valley. Vines on slopes where the coolness of the Vercors mountains meet the heat of the Mediterranean.

Two exclusive white grape varieties, Muscat à petits grains (80%) and Clairette (20%). Wine harvested entirely by hand over an average of 6 weeks starting from September, depending on the vine yard's altitude (200 to 700 m).

Gentle pressing and light maceration with skins to extract the Muscat's flavours and yeasts.

First fermentation at very low temperature using only the yeasts that are naturally present on the grapes.

Selection by quality for Tradition, Cuvée Impériale and Grande Tradition then second fermentation in cellars during 8 - 12 months (becomes sparkling). The fermentation stops naturally at an alcohol level of about 7%.

A genuine AOC wine that is naturally sparkling with elegant and intense flavours for movements of celebration and pleasure.
