HISTORIC, OUTSTANDING SWEET WINE CELEBRATED BY THE LIKES OF NAPOLEON, JANE AUSTEN AND CHARLES DICKENS
The 2014 harvest for the Muscat de Frontignan started later than usual due to a long wet winter. During the ripening process we experienced dry and moderate temperatures with rainfall that was unusual for the season. All these conditions lead to effective raising in late March and early April.
In order to further elevate the quality of Vin de Constance, we aim to constantly improve various elements in the making of this wine. Throughout the season we harvest in batches - from the riper berries that have great acidity to the raisins for sugar concentration. Upon entering the cellar, each batch is separated and treated differently. These batches make up the perfect ratio between sugar, alcohol and acidity which allows the wine to stop fermentation naturally and without intervention. Fermentation ranges anywhere between 6 weeks to 6 months.

Full and refreshing, the wine concludes with a long and concentrated finish.
