Domaine Pouderoux - Serbat 2023
Domaine Pouderoux is located in Maury, in Roussillon . The estate was passed down from mother to daughter for 6 generations until Robert Pouderoux, only son, who has since given the property to his little cousin Louise Tanguy . She is accompanied by her friend Léo Hemmer Bury . The vineyard was converted to organic farming from 2011 and obtained its biodynamic certification in 2021. The duo ensures ecological diversity on their islets of vines by promoting habitats for insects, birds and bats as well as as endemic plant species: almond trees, kermes oak, rockroses, broom, serviceberries, euphorbias, arbutus trees, mimosas and junipers. The terroir consists of a subsoil of brown marl, covered on the surface with black schist. Louise and Léo produce sweet and dry wines in the Maury appellation, with low yields.
Serbat is made from Rolle , from the blend of two plots: black shale at the top of the vineyard at an altitude of 300 meters at the foot of Serbat, and limestone marl along the Maury river. The harvest is manual, with selection and sorting by plot. The grapes are pressed directly and vinification is carried out in stainless steel vats and in demi-muids of 2 wines. Aging lasts 6 months in demi-muids , on fine lees with stirring.
Grape variety: 100% Rolle (Vermentino)
