Côtes de Provence Blanc de Blancs "Le Clos Peyrassol" 2023 (750ml)
Peyrassol Description
Commanderie de Peyrassol is located in the foothills of the Massif des Maures mountain range, 10 miles from the Mediterranean Sea, between Cannes and Marseille. Existing as a winery for almost 800 years, Commanderie de Peyrassol has thrived as a sanctuary for gathering travelers, all the while holding true to its values of hospitality and conviviality. The estate consists of 1,000 hectares with 95 hectares planted to vineyards cultivated on dry, rocky clay and limestone soils.
Entirely surrounded by dry stone walls, at the foot of the Commanderie buildings, the Clos plot covers 7 hectares planted on soils predominantly of limestone and red clay with a high proportion of gravel. Organic agriculture. Sowing of cereals in the inter-rows to encourage soil life, harvesting at dawn, precise choice of a harvest date respecting the fruit.
Tasting Note: A brilliant color with green highlights, this emblematic cuvée expresses elegance, finesse and concentration. A lacy, mineral wine, fresh and generous on the palate, immediately typical of great wines. The aromas are gradually released and intermingle to offer the full expression of Vermentino (aka Rolle) in its chosen terroir. Built around the respect for the natural acid in the grapes, this wine is elegantly prolonged by bitters and a measured salinity.
