Wine No 6 from Old and New Collection

Pierre Talayrach

Lumière de Pierre 2023

IGP Côtes Catalanes

This cuvée is made with 100% Viognier cultivated organically, using methods such as fertilization with a base of compost of pomace or chicken dung. Irrigation is used depending on the vintage year as the region has seen prolonged droughts in the past few years. Upon harvest, the juice is extracted by direct pressing, then cooled during 48 hours to separate lees from the must. Fermentation occurs in French oak barrels with stirring of the lees until April. The objective is to obtain maximum concentration while preserving the delicacy of Viognier. You will enjoy these flavors of lime and apricot. To be enjoyed with scallops or fried chicken with rich sauces like cream and morels.

Pierre Talayrach

In his own words, Pierre Talayrach was born in a soft and round countryside, dressed with a mixed green of grapevine and fields. His main view, a balcony with a white roof, planted in the middle of an azure blue sky. And this soft reflection of nature, comfortably installed between sea and mountain, this space of plenitude is called Pézilla-la-Rivière

It is where Pierre learnt how to live with the vines, close to his father who, himself had learnt it from his own father, and so on, for generations.  Pierre has lived alongside the vines for years, learning to understand them better, seeing them evolve, grow, and sometimes die as well. When Pierre's father passed on to him the tremendous honor and joy to run this vineyard, he felt it was his duty to make it evolve towards a new destiny. Pierre Talayrach is one of these men, he is a dreamer with a huge heart and a firm hand. in his presence, you can almost see the passion flowing through his veins. He brings to his vines and cellar his own happiness and pain. Because nothing is simple or easy, especially making wines this honest and delicious.
