about the harvest: Hand picked early morning on 21 February 2002, at a sugar level of 27Â° Balling.

in the cellar : The grapes are lightly crushed, destalked and left on the skins for natural fermentation. After 3 days of this type of fermentation approximately 3Â° of natural alcohol is developed and reduces the sugar level before the fermentation is stopped with the addition of neutral grape spirit.

This approach helps to express the beautiful grape flavour of Muscat de Frontignan. It then rests in a stainless steel tank for 1 year for the spirits and grape flavours to integrate prior to bottling.
