KUKU YODEL BLANC | 2019 | LA SORGA

This dry white wine for the trade comes from Marseillan (Hérault), a wine-growing commune on the Languedoc coast made famous by Noilly-Prat and the Picpoul grape. Here, it is a different variety, growing on clay-limestone soil: eighty percent Terret Bourret (eight-year-old vines), fifteen percent Muscat d'Alexandrie (forty-year-old vines) and five percent Grenache Gris (twenty-year-old vines). The terret bourret is pressed directly, the muscat is destemmed by hand and macerated in vats for thirty days, and the grenache macerates for fifteen days in the terret bourret must. The blending of the three grape varieties is followed by eight months of maturation in vats on lees. The nose evokes white peach, citron and sweet spices. The mouth, all in freshness, is extremely mineral, very marked by the terret bourret (grape variety of sand wines) with an electric final. An original and seductive wine which will lend itself to all your desires. It will keep for about ten years.
