Chateau d'Escales Déesse Astrée 2015

Côtes de Provence, Provence, Sud de France, FranceThis luxurious, richer white is 100% rolle (vermentino) from Provence. Expansive on the palate, with heady pear blossoms, orange blossoms, white peach and fragrant white florals on the full bodied palate. Ample spicing closes out the finish. Very well integrated oak. This was fermented and aged in new and second year demi-muids (600L) for ten months with twice weekly battonage. A luxuriously rich style, and very well constructed.Tasted: 26 May 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
