Le Vieux Murier Crozes Hermitage "Le Jardin" dry white 2022 MAGNUM

Technical Sheet written by the domaine:

Grape Variety: 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne

Terroir: Le Peizon in LARNAGE

Soil: Loess

Age of Vines: Between 10 and 40 years, majority 18 years

Vine Growing Practices: Entirely worked in organic farming for 3 years, conversion began in 2019 and soil work for 7 years. Similar to the "Saviaux" (the syrah parcel) except that the row without plant cover is sown with permanent grass. Loess is sensitive to erosion and the vine suffers less from drought as the clay present retains more water.

Vinification: Coarse settling, fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks, then transferred to Burgundy barrels at density 1070

Aging: 2 to 3 stirrings before malolactic fermentation, then 1 year in oak barrels on total lees without racking.

Bottling: please note, this wine is not "bottled at the domaine", as the cellar of this neo-winemaker is just under construction. In the meantime, it is his "luxury trainer," Jean-Louis Chave, who lends him his facilities. That is why the label of this wine specifies "bottled by JL Chave Sélection." Do not be surprised!

Tasting: Rather complex nose brought by fermentation and aging in barrel which will provide richness on the palate adjusted by the stirrings. Palate with texture and richness while being balanced by the acidity naturally present in the grapes from the rather cool and late terroir of Larnage, very suitable for white grape varieties. A discreet hint of bitterness that extends the finish.
