Terroir
Les Perrelles is a south-facing vineyard on foothill soil and ancient alluvium. The slope overlooking the village of Romanèche-Thorins, where the vines take root, is ideally exposed for our 70-year-old vines. Numerous small pink granite stones dot the surface of the soil, giving their name to the locality: Les Perrelles.
Vinification
Cuvée Valentine comes from a single parcel, which we vinify separately. After carefully selecting the grapes, maceration begins, half with whole grapes and half with de-stemmed grapes. Alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts continues for 8 to 10 days. The work in the vat room is delicate, to extract a beautiful intense ruby colour and supple, silky. tannins, while preserving as much as possible of the Gamay’s primary aromas, such as black cherry, strawberry, and blackcurrant. A peppery nose and mouth make this wine unique in the Moulin-à-Vent appellation.
