Nose : - Its nose gives off citrus and pear aromas.
Our opinion: - Wine assembled from : Grenache blanc , Marssanne, Roussane, Viognier
Palate : - The well-balanced palate begins full-bodied and fat but never falls
into heavy oiliness because it has a good base acidity

Acreage cultivated : - 1 hectare
Harvest: - Grapes are hand-picked and sorted. Everything is done to limit
production and obtain very sweet must
Vinification : - Manual harvest in the morning to gather the grapes as fresh as
possible.
The harvest is stripped poured into a tank for cold maceration with
skin contact.
After around 6 hours, the tank is free-run and the solids are pressed.
The must is kept at a low temperature for 12 hours, the deposit is
eliminated from the must, then the alcoholic fermentation occurs at
15°C for 3 weeks.
No malo-lactic fermentation. The wine is racked. Bottling is done in
March.
Cellar Price: - A bottle sells for €9.00, taxes included
What's in a name?: -
“/Soleil d'automne/” is French for “Autumn Sun”, perfect imagery of
the Indian Summer sunlight shining on the Pic St. Loup vineyards
echoed in the golden robe of this delightful
