Worn in the Middle Ages, an Aumuce was a purple cap that served as a cloak for clergymen as a way of concealing their whiteness, just as the black skin of the grape conceals its white juices. In Latin, this cape is called en Almutia. A blend of black and white grape varieties. 

Almutia is the definition of vivacity, liveliness, expressed through the pulp of mainly black grape varieties. The multi-vintage approach has been choose to bring complexity to the wine. 

Sight
Pale yellow and limpide

Smell
Tangy notes of apple and pears stand out

Taste
The palate is lively and ample, and reveals aromas of citrus and honeysuckle.

The vines come mainly from the limestone soils of the west of the Chateauneuf-du-Pape appellation.

Vinification

The grapes were harvested early, in mid-August, i.e. one month before the harvest intended for the production of red wines. 

The grapes are then destemmed and crushed, then placed in vats for draining followed by settling for severals days to sediment the pigments.

Fermentation in stainless steel tanks

Ageing

No ageing in wood and no stirring of the lees to maintain the perfect level of acidity.
