Sous le Végétal

Sous le Végétal est le projet viticole ambitieux fait maison, né sur l'île grecque de Samos. Initialement imaginé par Jason Ligas, le projet a pris un nouvel essor grâce à l'expertise de Patrick Bouju, figure emblématique du vin naturel en Auvergne, et au soutien indéfectible de la Maison Culinaries. Ensemble, ils ont insufflé une nouvelle vie à ce terroir unique, en s'appuyant sur le savoir-faire ancestral d'une coopérative locale et en sublimant le cépage emblématique de l'île : le muscat petit grain.

Hüpnos White 2018

Sous le Végétal


Hüpnos ("sleep" in Greek) owes its name to the slopes of the dormant volcano on which its vineyard terraces are located, harvested at night. This dry white wine is produced from two remarkably austere vineyards. A macerated wine, it offers great mineral freshness and rich fruit, extended by notes of candied fruit.

Where?
On the slopes of an extinct volcano, in the Agii Sarandides area, and on Mount Karvounis. Basalt and limestone soils.

The vines
Muscat à petit grain from Samos, grown organically in conversion to permaculture. The vines are pruned in goblet form. Manual harvesting at night, in order to preserve the freshness of the polyphenols and ensure perfect maceration.

Vinification
Free-run juice obtained by maceration in stainless steel vats by diffusion for forty days, whole bunches. Vinification without aeration or stabilization, only settling, pumping over and topping up are carried out. Vinification in 500-liter Stockinger barrels. Wine without additives, unfiltered, bottled by gravity and transferred by peristaltic pump into black bottles ensuring aging. Aged in bottles with organic cork without paraffin, sealed with a mixture of paraffin and black beeswax.
