Le Feu
Vintage 2019100% Gringet
It is a vineyard with a southeast exposure located at 450 m above the sea level on red clay soil with glacial sediments.
The wine shows a straw yellow colour with golden reflections.
The aroma is intense and broad. A vein of exotic citrus fruits such as orange and lemon is followed by notes of white peach, green apple and white melon. There are also floral scents of mint and edelweiss and perceivable mineral sensations of limestone and hydrocarbon. It is a pure and crystalline wine with a dry entrance that flows sweet with soft, enveloping warm notes. The taste is full, the character is vibrant and mineral. A fresh, fine and balanced wine with an endless persistence that reveals harmony.
