Côtes Catalanes

Light

Cork

Made from 90-year-old Grenache and Carignan on schist soils, this has lovely bay leaf, olive and potpourri on the nose, and clear whole-bunch character. Cranberry flavours, with a touch of cranberry and pink grapefruit bitterness; lightly saline. I love the aromatics, drinkability and finesse. There's a smidge more volatile acidity than in a typical year, but if you're OK with that, this has a lot to offer. La Truffière is their more affordable blend, made in their characteristic style: pale in colour, with intense whole-bunch herbal complexity, clarity and freshness.
