Esprit de Silène Blanc 2015

Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceIt was December 2014 that Les Domaines Paul Mas took over Domaine du Silène des Peyrals and its 57 hectares of vines. Esprit de Selene is a new blend from this historical property, located along the Joncastre stream, in the municipality of Saint-Pons-de-Mauchiens. It sits adjacent to the vineyard of Château Paul Mas, Abbey Valmagne and Domain Peyre Rose. The blend is a typical mix of grenache blanc, marsanne and vermentino, offering up a stony mineral floral mix of fruit aromas and flavours with a touch of heat and nutty bitterness in the finish. Try this with turkey, roasted chicken and creamy mushroom pasta dishes.Tasted: 17 February 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
