Les Domaines Robert Vic, La Source Tradition Pinot Noir, Igp Pays D'oc, Rouge
The Vic family has been showcasing Preignes le Vieux since 1905 and the estate is now proof of the bond between man and land. Here’s the potted history: Great-grandfather Robert Vic bought the estate in the early 20th century. The fifth generation is now tending vines on 250 hectares of land surrounding the château. In the early 90’s, Jérôme and then Aurélie his wife took over the family business.
The story
Because the vineyards are located in-between the Pyrenees to the South and the Black Mountains to the North, it enjoys a privileged climatic position where the excesses of the Mediterranean climate are tempered by the softness of the Atlantic influences: temperature variations are very pronounced with extremely hot days and very cool nights, allowing for the development of sought-after black fruits like boysenberries and blueberries with subtle floral notes and gentle acidity.
Vinification
The whole grapes are placed in vats. The process of fermentation starts na-turally. It starts with the juice that runs from burst grapes and also takes place into each grape. The skin and juice contact lasts no more than 8 hours, then we separate the juice. It allows a nice extraction of fruit flavours and colour. Pressing : Pneumatic
