Description
Very exceptional, a blanc de noir from the Languedoc, let alone a blanc de noir made from 100% Grenache noir. You won't come across it often, I promise. Soft creamy, aromas of red fruit and a slightly smoky touch. Spicy white with a firm taste expression. Exceptional wine from Joé of which we only want more. Very tasty with creamy scallops.
The young winemaker Joé Chandelier started his own domain in 2019 with 5.5 ha in the communes of Souvignargues and St Côme and Maruejols in the Gard. The vineyards are planted with Grenache, the almost extinct Aramon, Syrah, Carignan and Chasselas. The wines are vinified in the cellar without any filtering or clarification and with only the grape's own yeasts. Depending on the cuvée and vintage, Joé decides whether a small pinch of sulphites is added just before bottling and whether the wine is still matured in old Burgundian barrels. The vineyards are surrounded by trees and hedges, so no insecticides have to be used. The vines are very old, on average 80 years old, and yields are kept low.
