Rombeau LE BOTANISTE FIG 4 GSM (750ml)

The “Le Botaniste” cuvées are the fruit of an ancestral heritage carried by the visionary qualities of Henri de La Fabrègue five generations ago. As a doctor, his knowledge of biology and his agricultural heritage led him to conduct wine-growing and viticultural experiments which have enabled his descendants to reveal the best results today. For more than a hundred years, they have continuously enriched the work of their prestigious elder.   

The grapes for Le Botanist Fig 4 grow on clay-limestone terraces of rolled pebbles on the Roussillon plain.  The vineyard is lulled by the Tramontane wind all year round.  Harvest yields are low (30 hl/ha). The grapes, picked at optimum ripeness, are subject to rigorous selection. Traditional destemmed vinification with selection of the first free run juices. Maceration for three weeks in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats.  Each variety is aged separately in French oak barrels for 11 months.
