Presentation
The name Les Gémarelles finds its origins in the first names given to Geneviève, the mother of Florence and Jean-Baptiste Quiot. Her first name is Geneviève, Marie, Elisabeth, which gives us GE-MAR-EL.
Location
Our plots are spread over several terroirs, around the village. This allows us balanced wines with all finesse.
Terroir
Clay soils formed from the decomposition of the limestone mother rock and soils of a sandy texture. 10% of our domaine are planted in white grape varieties with the majority of Clairette and Grenache.
Winemaking
Pneumatic pressing, static cold settling, matured on lees for 4 months. No MLF. Vinification in concrete vats producing a very good thermal inertia.
Ageing
The Roussanne is vinified and matured in barrel before final blending. Bottling is done in February of the year following the harvest, before aging in the bottle.
