White Malice

Côtes du Roussillon Appellation 2023 Vintage 80% Macabeu 20% Grenache Blanc and Gris DESCRIPTION We wanted to blend our typical Macabeu with Grenache Blanc and Gris to bring greater finesse and aromatic expression. “Very attractive nose with flavors of sun-drenched fruits. There are floral and especially flowery notes. On the palate, the approach is just as attractive with its gourmet richness where small bitters play the balancing act to bring the necessary freshness with notes of spices and some citrus fruits. It’s amazingly fun, easy, accessible and friendly. » VINIFICATION Harvesting is carried out entirely by hand. Direct pressing of the harvest. The musts are then settled naturally in the cold. 36-hour pre-fermentation maceration. Then alcoholic fermentation for 2 to 3 weeks at a controlled temperature of 16-17°C in order to preserve the fruit aromas and minerality of the wine. TASTING NOTES Pretty pale color with green highlights. The nose is very expressive, with a lot of finesse, with a dominant floral (acacia, lime, broom) and white-fleshed fruits, with a hint of citrus. The palate is round, with fruit (pear, white peaches), lots of elegance, freshness, and a nice balance. PAIRINGS Appetizers, seafood (shellfish, fish), Asian cuisine
