Food Matching Note:
Full and rich with a wonderful minerally acidity which makes the wine a great match with seafood particularly shell fish.
Tasting Note:
Up front, generous nose of tropical and ripe white fruits. The palate is suggestive of its lees contact in barrel, but only hints at this with bready flavours squeezed in around its pineapple fruit and mineral acidity.
Vinification Note:
The Manciat Poncets who own this domaine believe that great wines are made in the vineyards not in the winery and as a result they stick to the traditional winemaking methods that have been used in the area for generations. Large temperature controlled (a small sop to the new world) tanks are used for fermentation and large oak barrels are used to age the wines for between 7 - 9 months.
