Southern Rhône, Château Bois D'arlène, Les Bergers, Igp Méditerranée, Rouge
Château Bois d’Arlène is an ambitious project on two fronts: Norge and Arlène, an epicurean couple from Seattle who fell in love with the region, and Philippe and Elizabeth (from Château La Ligière), who are the latest of five generations of winemakers on the lands of Vacqueyras and Beaumes-de-Venise. Friends for nearly 20 years, they wish to develop an ambitious project together, to enhance this magnificent place and produce remarkable wines.
Presentation
Elegance and sobriety. The 13th century sheepfold has regained its Provençal patina and the adjoining cottage looks like something out of a postcard. On the cellar side, the technology and the Italian design are of the most beautiful effect. Built according to the Toyota system (analyze, design hierarchically by eliminating the superfluous), it is shaped like an arena. Above, the cellar, reception room, lounge and restaurant space in the making are integrated into the heart of the vineyard.
Vinification
The grapes are destemmed and placed in concrete vats for a few days of semi-carbonic cold maceration. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out naturally present on the grapes. The maceration lasts nearly a month, punctuated by delestages, piégeages and bâtonnage. No wood is used to preserve all the wine's fresh fruit of fresh fruit.
