The palate is focused and complex with rich mouthfeel, bright acidity and a chalky minerality.

The vines age, combined with these unique soils, results in a concentrated and intense, yet elegant expression of Roussanne.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eThe grapes were harvested and sorted by hand and packed into small crates in the cool early morning to retain optimum quality and freshness. The bunches were gently pressed in a pneumatic press and the must was left to cold settle in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation took place in used French oak, resulting in additional aromatic and textural complexity. Malolactic fermentation was not carried out, to retain the wine’s naturally crisp acidity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 18th century Château de Vaudieu has been in the Bréchet family for over 50 years and today is run by Laurent Bréchet, the grandson of the original owner.
