Château Flotis Si Noire is a wine crafted from a small, prized parcel of Négrette vines, perched on the highest point of the estate. The terroir, composed of gravel soils and sheltered by oak woodlands, contributes to the purity and intensity of the fruit. With a low yield, the grapes are handled with care, de-stemmed, and fermented. A six-week maceration with regular remontage and pigeage enhances extraction. After 18 months in seasoned oak barrels, the wine is bottled unfiltered, preserving its natural character and depth.
