Lovely nose of blanched almonds, lemons, chamomile and sliced pears. Crushed stones and seashells too. It’s mineral and very textural, full-bodied, with an almost chalky texture. 62% chenin blanc, 13% clairette blanche, 10% semillon gris, 8% grenache blanc, 5% viognier and 2% verdelho. Drink now or hold.
The 2023 White Old Vines is based on 70-year-old Grenache Blanc vines that lend the wine more texture and density. Fermented mainly in 2,000-liter foudres it was oxidatively handled in the press, encouraged (though not forced) through malo and raised on the lees. This has a complex nose: fresh pear, grilled walnut and light smoky scents, gaining delineation in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a nuanced opening. Hints of mango mix with light citric notes, a keen line of acidity and a lively, peppery finish. Excellent.
