Vinification of Cuvée Massacans Blanc Côtes du Rhône AOP from Domaine de l’Olivier The production of this wine begins with the careful selection of grapes typical for the Côtes du Rhône. The vineyards are located on limestone soils with optimal orientation, providing plenty of sunshine and ideal ripening conditions. The grape varieties are traditionally white, including Clairette, Grenache Blanc, and Viognier, which are harmoniously blended. 1. The harvest is done early in the morning by hand to preserve the freshness of the grapes and ensure top quality. 2. Immediate transport to the winery minimizes contact of the grapes with heat, protecting the aromatic compounds. 3. Gentle pressing of the grapes results in clear musts and preserves the delicate, fruity nuances. 4. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruitiness. 5. After fermentation, the wine ages on the fine lees to develop additional fullness and complexity. The gentle processing and controlled maturation maintain the original character of the grape varieties. The result is a clear, radiant white wine with a fine texture and lively aromatics that make the Cuvée Massacans Blanc unique.
