Languedoc, Les Domaines Robert Vic, Narratur, Igp Pays D'oc, Blanc
The Vic family has been at the helm of Preignes le Vieux since 1905, with the estate now standing as a testament to the enduring connection between humankind and the earth. Here's a brief history: Robert Vic, the great-grandfather, acquired the estate in the early 20th century. Today, the fifth generation is diligently cultivating vines across 250 hectares encircling the château. In the early 1990s, Jérôme took the reins of the family business, soon joined by his wife Aurélie.
Presentation
The Latin phrase "De nobis fabula narratur" translates to "The story is told about us." It emphasizes that stories and situations discussed are relevant to those involved. Preignes' history is marked by four dates, three grape varieties, and three vessel types, highlighting their unique viticultural heritage. Narratur bridges past and present, reflecting the enduring bond between people and their land, spanning over two millennia from villa Preixanum in 118 BC to Chateau de Preignes in 1202, the Vic family's stewardship since 1905, and the introduction of Narratur in 2022 – their story spans over two millennia of history!
Vinification
The process begins with a delicate skin maceration of both grapes lasting 4 hours in a pneumatic press. Following this, only the free-run juices are carefully transferred to stainless steel vats. Here, fermentation commences, meticulously regulated to maintain temperatures between 16 and 18°C. Subsequently, a period of maturation in a 750L amphora is undertaken to refine and bestow elegance upon this distinctive signature blend.
