Domaine des Deux Clés Corbières dry white 2024

Technical sheet written by the domaine:

The Corbières, and particularly our lands in Fontjoncouse, have great potential for the expression of white wines. This cuvée, a blend of indigenous grape varieties, is vinified in the Burgundian tradition. Combining subtle aromas from aging on lees in barrels with natural minerality and freshness, the balance of this wine is pleasant, ample without losing its tension...

Geology: Triassic soils, clay-limestone with great mineral diversity including bipyramidal quartz, dolomites, travertines, spilites, etc.

Parcel: Two plots in the same valley. 1.5ha of vines planted in 2012 on a terrace facing North-East, 1.5ha of old vines on a semi-slope facing South-East.

Grape varieties: 50% Macabeu, 25% Grenache Blanc, 15% Rolle and 10% Grenache Gris.

Vinification:
Sequential pressing of whole clusters.
Cold settling for 2 days.
Filling with fine lees.
Fermentation with indigenous yeasts at 18 to 24°C.
Regular but light bâtonnage throughout the alcoholic fermentation.
Natural malolactic fermentation depending on the vintage and pH of each barrel.

Aging:
28 barrels of 228L from the Burgundian cooperages Chassin and Damy, mainly 10% new wood.
