Roussillon, Sud de France, FranceA beguiling wine from the Roussillon. Rich but not opulent floral but not cloying. Look for yellow fruits, honeysuckle and tropical under tones but with a citrus/mineral core. A full figured spicy white with ageing potential. Try it with halibut. The rest of the story revolves around a complex mix of village fruit from the Pays des Côtes Catalanes Fenouillèdes region grown on decomposed granite that sits between 400 and 550 m above sea level. The blend is a 75/15/5/5 of macabeu, vermentino, sauvignon, grenache blanc and grenache gris, malvoisie du Roussillon, chardonnay, marsanne and roussanne all from 25 to 30 year old vineyards. It is also a mix of vintages: 2013 (45%) 2012 (30%) 2011(24%) and 2009 (1%) - 65 percent in tank and 30 percent in old 500-liter demi-muids and finally 5 percent in foudre.Tasted: 10 February 2015Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $31.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
