THE CUVÉE

Argali, IGP Pays d’Oc rosé

Argali is the Puech-Haut rosé in the IGP Pays d’Oc. It blends Grenache and Cinsault, on clay-limestone soil with Quaternary rolled pebbles. Its colour is a crystal-clear rose petal. The fresh nose offers exotic fruit aromas. The palate is lively, crisp and thirst-quenching.

Serve it between 6 and 8 °C as an aperitif, with grilled fish, a barbecue, salads, or simply on its own. Drink it within the year.

The argali is the largest of all wild sheep. It lives in the mountains of Central Asia, between 1,300 and 6,000 metres above sea level, and its spiralling horns can measure up to 1.25 metres. These curled horns are the ones found on the crest of the bottle.

KNOW-HOW

Pressed directly, vinified cool

The grapes are pressed directly, without the juice staying long in contact with the skins: this is what gives the rosé its pale colour. The juice is then settled statically: it is left to rest in the cool so that the particles settle. Vinification takes place at low temperature, between 12 and 14 °C, to preserve freshness and fruity aromas. Finally, malolactic fermentation is blocked: this second fermentation, which turns malic acid into softer lactic acid, does not take place, and the wine keeps all its liveliness.
