White

A beautifully composed white that marries concentration with freshness. Aromas of lime zest, citrus blossom and crushed chalk emerge first, followed by notes of wet stone and subtle herbal nuances. Grenache Blanc brings that lovely blossomy haze, and Marsanne brings some weight and breadth. From the clay-limestone part of the St-Chinian appellation. Aged on its lees for 11 months in 400-litre barrels, which has added texture and breadth without masking the wine’s mineral core. There is real energy here, with a saline, chalky finish that lingers impressively. Refined, balanced, concentrated, it has all the hallmarks of a wine that will age well into the medium term and take on lots more complexity.
