Description
'Fleuve Blanc' full of terroir expression, salty, ripe fruit, flirtatious crispiness. Distinctive blend of Macabeu, Grenache Gris and Grenache Blanc, vinified separately, giving each grape a clear, characteristic role in the wine. Gastronomic white from Domaine la Bancale.
Country / Region: France / Roussillon
Grape variety(ies): 50% Macabeu, 35% Grenache Gris, 15% Grenache Blanc
In the vineyard: 35 year old vines ( Macabeu ), 8 year old (Grenache Gris) of 6 year old (Grenache Blanc). Groves between 180m and 300m altitude. Terroir consisting of calcareous black slate. Early harvest entirely by hand.
In the cellar: The Macabeu is pressed immediately upon arrival at the cellar. The juice rests overnight in the cool cellar, after which it is transferred to amphora for fermentation and maturation. Spontaneous malo-fermentation. The Grenache Gris and Grenache Blanc are blended at the press. The juice rests overnight in stainless steel, after which it is transferred to neutral vats for spontaneous fermentation. After completion of the malolactic fermentation, the co-fermented Grenache Gris and Grenache Blanc were transferred to amphora for maturation. The two different maturations were blended after 5.5 months. Very low dose of So2 added after the malolactic fermentation.
