Chardonnay, Grenache Gris, Sauvignon Gris, and Petit Manseng. Fermented in 600L barrels and aged in same for 6 months with daily batonnage during the first 2 months of ageing. The wine is a brilliant colour, with a predominantly pistachio and almond nose with lychee notes. On the palate it is powerful and well rounded.
Pair with aged cheeses.
"An unusual white blend from this celebrated La Clape estate. Fermented and aged in demi-muids, it shows plenty of tropical fruit, melon, pineapple with a touch of lychee. Mostly Chardonnay but the lime twist and crisp acidity on the finish makes the presence of Petit Manseng duly felt."
91 points.
