$42.00
VdF 2022 Blanc from Ardèche. Sauvignon Blanc (45%) & Chardonnay (40%) & Marsanne de 2021 (15%) – 13,25% alc. 75cl. Les Raisins de Domaine du Mazel à Valvignères This is our first vinification in our old wooden foudre, that we got from Alsace. The Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay was pressed for 4 days and when the fermentation was working well it was blended with some Marsanne from 2021. The following fermentation took place during winter and finished slowly in the early spring. The combination of the Ardèche grapes and the Alsace Foudre, have given a unique expression. Rich in fruit, with an almost northern-style acidity.
