Presentation
A cuvée in honor of "Mamé Odette" Manganelli, 97 years old, a skilled cook, who, alongside her beloved Jean-Marie, acquired all the Vacqueyras parcels of the estate.
The vintage
The year was marked by drought and heatwaves that advanced the harvest but allowed for excellent grape health.
Location
A plot on the Garrigues terrace, spanning 9 hectares in one piece, enjoying sunlight from morning to evening and highly exposed to the Mistral wind.
Terroir
The terroir of the locality "Les Garrigues de l'Etang" is characterized by typical soils composed of rounded pebbles and limestone gravel resting on brown clays.
In the vineyard
The estate is entirely managed under organic viticulture, certified by Ecocert. We practice hoeing to avoid competition from grass around the vines, as well as scratching the soil, applying organic fertilizer for maintenance, hilling up the vines in winter, and uncovering them in spring.
