Crozes Hermitage - 2022 White

We love the whites of the Burgundy vineyards, and look for this signature in our Crozes-Hermitage whites.
The duo of Marsanne (70%) and Roussanne (30%) in our vineyards allows us to play, depending on the balance of the vintage, around the complementarity of these two grape varieties to deliver a wine that is structured between freshness and fruity elegance.

Winemaking

Vinification is natural, with no inputs. The grapes are moderately pressed in whole bunches directly after harvesting. Fermentation in vats does not exceed 18°c, so as not to extract too much fat and to maintain the right balance, balanced by preserved acidity.
This wine is wood-free, and is aged for 8 months before bottling, to preserve its freshness.

TASTING

Colour: Bright pale yellow with green highlights.

Nose: The nose is expressive and elegant, developing floral notes of jasmine, acacia flower, fresh almond and white peach. 

Palate: The start into the mouth is supple, developing into a round, sunny wine. The finish is delicately fresh, with elegant bitters giving this wine length and balance. White peach and fresh almond aromas.

PAIRING

With its aromatic freshness, this wine is ideal for summer cooking:
o   Low-temperature fillet of fera.
o   Risotto with green asparagus.
o   Sole with orange butter, zucchini tagliatelle with curry.

AGEING

This wine should be drunk now or in the next 5 years.
