Les Œillets comes from the same terroir as La Petite Robe (the clay-limestone soils of the lieu-dit Les Marches, at the foot of Mont Granier), but it is harvested later to obtain a more advanced phenolic maturity and a higher tannic concentration. The carbonic maceration of four or five days is followed by a month of punching down in vats. At least one year of aging in terracotta amphora.

With a beautiful minerality and a tension polished by the passage in terracotta, Les Œillets Amphore by Jean-Yves Péron is an atypical white, with powerful aromatic notes without any trace of wood. Lots of fruit and candied citrus fruits. Les Œillets has chew, texture, a tannic mouthfeel and a note of controlled oxidation. The tension is strong, balanced by a note of apricot.
