Domaine de Majas Blanc 2012

IGP CĂ´tes Catalanes, Roussillon, Sud de France, FranceThe 30-hectare Domaine de Majas is located to the west of the Roussillion in the village of Caudies de Fenouilledes. Fully biodynamic since 2007, with Domaine Matassa's Tom Lubbe as consultant. Organic rolle, macabeu, carignan blanc vines are planted on clay-limestone soil at an altitude of 350-400 metres above sea level, fermented wild and see just a shadow of sulphur. Salted almonds and hazelnuts glide along a sizeable slick of herbal lees, lifted by a crystalline citrus. White peach, green fig, dried thyme, medicinal hued white cherry on the medium body, before mineral salts linger on the finish. Exactly what you want to drink right now with grilled anchovies or white wine and garlic mussels.Tasted: 17 February 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
