Monsieur de Cyrano - HVE, AOC Côtes de Bergerac, Blanc Moelleux

Edmond Rostand is the creator of the famous play "Cyrano de Bergerac" inspired by the real character, Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac (1619 1655). It is thanks to his creativity and panache that Cyrano de Bergerac becomes a true icon in French literature and a symbol of the South West of France. For the people of Bergerac, Monsieur de Cyrano is an emblematic character, with a strong personality who evokes art and culture, like the winegrowers who produce this modern and aromatic cuvée.

The Bergerac vineyard is crossed from east to west by the Dordogne river and irrigated by its many tributaries. The sweetness of Côtes de Bergerac wine comes from its vineyards planted on sunny plateaux on both banks of the Dordogne. The grapes are picked by hand, when over-ripe, and then sorted to select only the finest berries before vinification. Côtes de Bergerac Moelleux wines are round, subtle and fresh on the palate. They can be enjoyed young but will improve with ageing.

Grapes picked when over-ripe. Destemming and crushing of the grapes. Pressing of the grapes then alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature in the presence of yeasts selected according to the required profile, until the level of remaining sugar is around 40 to 45 g/l. Arrested fermentation. Ageing on fine lees.
