Le Carrée is a small plot, just.4 of a hectare, in the suburbs of Saint-Remy-de-Provence planted only with Roussanne. The soil is clay with blue marl subsoil. Its square shape gives the cuvée its name. It was planted in 1991 with densely-planted vines (4000 vines/hectare).
For this wine the grapes were directly-pressed and the juice fermented and aged in four 500 litre barrels for a year. Three had been used once before and one was new. It was bottled in March 2024. The wine is concentrated with potential for aging, with a freshness not often seen in this variety, and its richness balanced by good acidity. The Milans’ tasting notes describe it well “Complex aromas of bitter orange, exotic fruits, and mint compose the aromatic bouquet, which tends to evolve”. The finish is quite saline.
