Malvasia di Candia aromatica is macerated for 60 days with the skins to obtain a golden color – the color of very ripe grapes – and a complex and aromatic juice

Mélodie en Sous-sol 2013 2015 vinified separately with carbonic maceration:From Chenin vines (around 45 years old) grown on the schist terroir of Rablay sur Layon, with vinification and ageing in vats. The grapes for Mlodie en Sous Sol are picked after those for Coule de Source and Un Brin Gourmand. The ripeness of the grapes and the minerality of the schist terroir give tension and balance to the wine: a full bodied, vibrant Chenin, frank and complex with a typical fine bitterness.
