Crozes Hermitage - 2014 White

I love white Burgundy, and I seek the same signature from my Crozes-Hermitage whites. The vine duo Marsanne (70%) and Rousanne (30%) allow me, while respecting the balance of the vintage, to play on the complementarities of the two grape varieties, extracting a wine with a structural balance, between freshness and the elegance of fruit.

VINIFICATION

To create the elegant, fragrant white wine we seek, we practice leaf-stripping around the bunches for maximum exposure to sunshine, before green harvesting for optimal yield control; harvesting is carried out quite late.The harvest is slightly sulphited, since no industrial yeast is used; the natural yeast is left to act in order to extract the varietal aromas and obtain enhanced richness. Our white wine is 100% vat matured for optimal expression of the two grape varieties.

TASTING

Crozes Hermitage White 2015 is characterised by powerful, complex notes dominated by almond and stone fruit, the palate is structured, full and rich.

PAIRING

Serve between 10 and 12° as an aperitif, with river fish; a perfect partner for sauces.
