Les Lloses Blanc 2018 - Lafage 75cl
Les Lloses Blanc 2018 from Domaine Lafage is a confidential white wine produced in very small quantities, even more confidential than its red equivalents!
This fine nectar comes to us from Les Aspres, near the charming village of Tordères. The grapes for this limited cuvée come from a 0.33 ha plot with 1,480 vines aged around 50 years, planted at a density of 4,000 vines/ha. The vines thrive on marble-schist soils, on one of the highest terraces, where they benefit from the natural protection offered by the garrigue, olive trees and Mediterranean grasses, thus preserving their balance against the Tramontane winds.
The harvest is carried out manually in 10 kg crates, with a rigorous selection of the finest grapes from the vine, followed by a second sorting in the cellar. The juice is then fermented in French barrels, where it is stirred on the lees for three months. After aging in the same barrels, the blend is done without filtration, guaranteeing the purity of the aromas. The wine is then kept in bottles for a year before being released for sale.
On the palate, this rich, subtly toasted wine reveals notes of vanilla and bark, accompanied by elegant aromas of white-fleshed fruits such as pineapple, pear, and peach. Its texture is silky, with a long, inviting finish. Enjoy within 4 to 7 years.
To accompany your meals, this wine pairs wonderfully with a fish stew, fish in sauce, or poultry in morel sauce, offering a refined and unforgettable taste experience.
