Presentation
Edmond Rostand is the creator of the famous play by 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 organic, modern and aromatic cuvée.
Location
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 Sec appellation enjoys a particularly favourable climate. This yields enjoyable wines, both elegant and authentic, and the diversity in the vineyards brings variety and richness. Bergerac Sec appellation wines are made from a blend of Sémillon, Sauvignon, Muscadelle, Ondenc and Chenin Blanc.
Winemaking
Mechanical harvesting. Rapid destemming and crushing of the grapes. Skin contact for part of the crop followed by pressing. Cold settling of the must. Alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature until the sugar is used up, to provide a dry wine, in the presence of yeasts selected according to the required profile. Ageing on fine lees.
