Clos des Fées Vieilles Vignes blanc 2023

Technical sheet written by the domaine :

Grenache blanc 90 %, Grenache gris 10 %. Made from the oldest vines of the estate (over 100 years old) in the "Mas Farines" sector. Complemented by old Grenache gris from mixed plots, planted with various grape varieties.

Clay-limestone soils, altitude ranging from 200 to 400 meters, with dominant north and west orientations. Harvest decided with the aim of seeking the expression of ripe fruit while maintaining freshness and a refreshing aspect.

Manual harvest, transported in refrigerated truck.

Whole-cluster pneumatic pressing at low pressure. Slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks (Grenache blanc) and old barrels (Grenache gris) with regular bâtonnage. Aging on lees for 5 to 8 months. Fining and filtration before bottling in spring.

A rich and powerful wine, it presents exceptional sweetness, even when dry. Delicious right after bottling, it closes up and then reaches its great wine dimension 3 to 6 years after the harvest.
