La Maitresse, NV
Le Grand Cros is situated on the foothills of the Massif des Maures, in the centre of the Var and in the heart of AOC Cotes de Provence. The 24 hectares of vines are surrounded by pine and olive trees, dry stone terraces and in the centre of the estate is an authentic Provencal manor house.
Sparkling Rose, Methode Champenoise. La Maitresse has a sparkling pink color with hints of orange reflections. A tempting nose of stewed fruit, apricot, peach, pear and almond paste. A lovely balance with a roundness in the mouth followed by elegant yet persistent bubbles and a fresh fruity finish.
Grenache, Syrah, Chardonnay, Semillon
Each parcel is vinified separately; cold skin contact maceration; pressing with separation of free-run juice from pressed must, cold static must settling; temperature control of fermentation at 17-18 C, racking and blockage of malolactic fermentation.
After early fining and clarification with bentonite, filtration, blending after tasting, the base wine is bottled in which a second fermentation takes place. The wine is cellared on its lies for 9 months with regular rotation of the bottles. The wine is disgorged with a dosage of 1.5mg/l to ensure a brut.
