Organic wine - processing, Château Saint Jean Lez Durance, Pimayon, Pierrevert AOP, rosé

The terroir of Pimayon is located on the highest of the 7 hills, where Jean Giono (a French writer born near the Château Saint Jean les Durance in Manosque) was walking. The vines grow there on barren, but always sunny ground with exceptional thermal amplitudes. The wines are fine and aromatic.

Because of the high temperatures that still occur in Provence in September, the grape harvest is done at night with harvesters or manual during the late evening until complete darkness at cooler temperatures.  Then follows a relatively elaborate winemaking to achieve the best possible wine.  First the grapes are squeezed very gently and gently, then subjected to a short cold maceration in thermoregulated stainless steel tanks, during which important stabilizing enzymes are formed and the colorants from the berry skins are transferred to the juice. The juice is then slowly fermented in stainless steel tanks at a low temperature.
