- Palest pink sparkling rosé where a fine stream of citrussy bubbles accompanies aromatic notes of passion fruit, mango and pomelo. Uplifting and refreshing with a mouthwatering finish. Their wines capture the joie de vivre and elegance of the French Riviera, while conveying Provence's quality, terroir and unique heritage.
The base wines were fermented according to the Charmat method at low temperatures for optimum integration and delicacy of the bubbles. The sparkling wine was left on its fine lees for a short while to impart texture before filtration, followed by pressurised bottling. This method of producing sparkling wines helps to conserve the typical, fruity profiles of the young and aromatic rosé wines. ‘La Folie’ was vinified as an Extra Brut sparkling rosé with a dosage of under 4g/l.

Winery | The grapes come from south-facing parcels on the hillside slopes of the foothills of the Sainte-Victoire Mountain range. The poor soils are rich in gravelly limestone, contributing to the fruit's aromatic expression. At the same time, a clay-rich element retains water to nourish the vines through the warm Mediterranean summers. The diurnal temperature swings with cold nights and hot days, along with the influence of the fresh Mistral winds, imbues the wines from this area with distinctive minerality. Further blending elements from the schist parcels under the Maure Mountains and the deeper soils of the upper Var region bring richness and structure. The vines are trained according to the Cordon de Royat method, and the vineyards are sustainably cultivated to promote soil and vine health and biodiversity. |
