Provence , Château Clarettes, Thérapie, Aop Côtes-de-provence, Blanc
Château Clarettes is a long-standing anchor on the Arcs-sur-Argens terroir and has reborn from its ashes like Phoenix in recent years. It’s undergoing a complete renovation — with even more improvements to come — made possible by the will of wine enthusiasts Seligsons from Finland, who took over this vineyard in 2012. This historic estate is taking a page from nearby Bandol, utilizing a high proportion of Mourvèdre in its rosés.
Presentation
When you swing by the Seligsons' winery, get ready for some grape therapy, literally! It's like a spa day, but with vineyards for views and oak trees for company. So, sip back, relax, and let the tranquility seep in – it's the kind of therapy where the only thing you're pouring out is another glass of their calming concoction!
Vinification
Gathered at the first light of dawn, the grapes are then destemmed and gently crushed in chilly conditions to ward off oxidation. This is followed by a pre-fermentation settling. Next, both the free-flowing and pressed juices are moved to stainless steel vessels, initiating the fermentation. Here, temperatures are meticulously managed all through the winemaking journey, ensuring the preservation of a delightful, aromatic freshness.
