Aged in vats. The malolactic fermentation is stopped to give freshness to the wine.
The must is cold racked for 24 hours to preserve freshness. Fermented in neutral vats.
Michel Chapoutier
Fresh, Fruit Forward, Supple
Apple, Citrus, Floral
Floral and green apple aromas. Exotic fruits with citrus aromas.
This brilliant, pale yellow wine is supple with fresh, clean flavors. Very aromatic and bursting with floral, candied fruit flavors. The vineyards of Crozes-Hermitage surround the great Hermitage Hill. Sometimes called a "down-sized Hermitage" La Petite Ruche is all freshness and easy enjoyment from younger vines.
