On the nose, it offers elegant aromas of white flowers, combined with notes of apple, dried apricot and slight hints of toasted bread. On the palate, it stands out for its full structure, supported by a vivid minerality and a marked savoury trail. The tasting experience, with its creamy texture and persistent finish, makes it the ideal accompaniment for shellfish, salmon tataki, delicate white meats and soft cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePetite Arvine grapes grow on the steep terraces of Aymavilles and Montjovet. In these south-facing plots, between 550 and 750 metres in altitude, Les Crêtes carries out rigorous \u003cstrong\u003eheroic viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e. The environment enjoys an \u003cstrong\u003eendo-Alpine climate\u003c\/strong\u003e characterised by low rainfall, strong sunshine and marked temperature fluctuations. The roots delve into loose and sandy \u003cstrong\u003emorainic soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, a natural combination that is decisive in giving the wine its clear aromatic signature and the vibrant mineral savouriness that distinguishes it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins at the end of September with a manual harvest and the careful selection of the bunches. After cooling the grapes, a \u003cstrong\u003esoft pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e is carried out. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, a key step to keep the varietal aromas intact. Ageing continues in steel through a period on the lees accompanied by \u003cstrong\u003econtinuous bâtonnage\u003c\/strong\u003e. This precise oenological technique gives volume and creaminess to the palate, balancing the pulpy richness of the fruit with a dynamic profile and a persistent finish.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name Petite Arvine derives from the small size of the berries.
