Les fiefs de Cyrano - Bergerac Rosé

Cyrano de Bergerac is Edmond Rostand's most famous play, based on a real character, Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac. He has become a true icon in French literature. To pay tribute to him, two statues of the fictional character have been erected in the squares of Bergerac, Cyrano's new strongholds !

The Bergerac appellation is situated in the south of the Dordogne region. Ideally located on the hillsides of the Dordogne valley, sheltered from the maritime influence, the Bergerac Rosé appellation enjoys a particularly favourable climate. This yields enjoyable wines, both elegant and authentic, and the diversity in the vineyards brings variety and richness. The production of rosé wines is quite recent: made using a short period of skin contact, with a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, they are well-structured, refreshing wines.

The grapes are harvested early in the morning to avoid strong heat. Rapid destemming and crushing of the grapes. Short skin contact of a few hours. Pressing of the grapes. The must obtained is cold settled before the alcoholic fermentation. This continues until all the sugar is used up, to provide a dry wine. It takes place with temperature control in the presence of yeasts selected according to the required profile. Ageing on fine lees.
