Le N. White 2023 

Vintage: 2023, a well-balanced vintage. After a winter without a drop of water and a begining of spring not much more watered, putting the vines under pressure during their winter awakening, the rains finally arrived at the beginning of May. These late rains made the first work in the vines a little more complicated than usually, but also helped to recharge soils, thus promoting the development of the vines and their grapes. Summer was also well 

balanced, with warm sunny days and cool nights. September and its harvest... Beautiful days, cool nights and homogeneous ripeness allowed us to manage our harvest without constraints. 2023 is a vintage marked by the freshness of our white and rosé wines, and the lovely balance of fruit and substance in our reds. 

THE WINEMAKING

Grape varieties: Principally Rolle. A touch of Grenache Blanc

Soil: Sandy loam and gravel 

Climate: Land parcels located at 300 meters altitude at the foot of the Luberon mountains. In summer, the microclimate allows Maslauris grapevines to benefit from cool nights which reduce the heat of the day. The presence of the Mistral wind, which is active year-round, plays a key role in the irreproachable healthy state of our grapes. These different factors bring subtlety to our matured grapes and lively to the wine. 

Grapevines: Vines from certified organic agriculture, harvested by hand with the strictest rigor, very early in the morning using headlamps in order to bring in the grapes cold and thereby preserve their integrity.

Vinification : Gravity harvest reception and extraction of the juice by a soft and progressive pressing. Natural alcoholic fermentation in three containers: concrete egg, stainless steel tank and some barrels, certified without input. 

Aging: In three different containers: concrete egg, stainless steel tank and barrels. Bottled at the end of winter, respecting the lunar calendar to preserve the maximum aromatic potential. Unfiltered wine, without added sulfite. 

Alcohol level: 13,5% vol.

Tasting: A lovely fermented fruit juice resulting in a “natural” wine, bottled as such. The natural and jovial quality of this lively wine will wholly satisfy enthusiasts.
