- Fermentation: Low-temperature fermentation - Stainless steel tanks (inert, reductive environment)
- Extraction: Minimal skin contact → pale color, low phenolics
- Aging: Short élevage in tank (no significant oak influence in style expression)
- Objective: preserve primary fruit esters, limit oxidation, maintain clarity and freshness
⚖️ Analytical / structural profile
- Residual sugar: Dry (≈ <2–3 g/L, typical for Provence rosé)
