Ne fais pas sans blanc

Ne fais pas sans blanc is a white wine built around Chardonnay and Grenache Blanc, with the Chardonnay coming from 35-year-old vines and the Grenache Blanc from 50-year-old vines on calcareous silt soils. The two grapes are vinified together, then aged for ten months in a mix of oak barrels, stainless steel tanks and a small part in a stoneware jar. This gives the wine both roundness and freshness, without making it feel heavy.

In the glass, it brings notes of peach, yellow fruit, dried fruit and almond, with a quiet touch of oak. The palate is full and structured, with mineral tension and a gently bitter, almost liquorice-like finish. It is a good match for fish, grilled squid or skate wing with capers. Made organically with no added sulfites, it can be enjoyed now, but also has good ageing potential.
