Côtes du Roussillon, Roussillon, Sud de France, FranceThis bright, juicy, mineral-marked wine is made in with the same terroir-respectful, biodynamic practices that are the hallmark of Michel Chapoutier's numerous 100-point wines in the Northern Rhone. Here, in warm southern France, he has found stony soiled terraces with black and brown schist, gneiss, limestone and chalk. The blanc is a seamless blend of grenache blanc, grenache gris and macabeu, with pure citrus, quince and pear focus, and scented herb, mineral and apricot spiciness on the medium bodied palate. Lovely juicy lime and herbal white grapefruit on the finish, this would make a fine pair for mussels or white fleshed fish.Tasted: 31 March 2015Tasted by: Prices:
Côtes du Roussillon, Roussillon, Sud de France, FranceSeemingly consistent each year the latest Bila Haut has the customary citrus aromas of grapefruit and lemons flecked with honey, baked pear and quince. The attack is round with juicy, fruity citrus, ginger, spicy and orange peel notes. It finishes with a hint wet stone and saltiness. Grilled squid would be a great match with this grenache blanc, grenache gris and macabeu blend.Tasted: 07 July 2013Tasted by: Prices:
