Plaimont Les Vignes Retrouvées 2013

Sud-Ouest, FranceThis herbal-driven, lemony lighter white is a blend of gros manseng, arrufac and petit courbu, the ancestral grapes of the Pyrenean foothills. This wine is named Les Vines Retrouvées (the Rediscovered Vines) as a tribute to the grapes' history in the South West. Hedgerow, lemongrass and a ringing river stone minerality throughout, streaked with a quenching lemon rind acidity and lined with a scrubby herbal lees. Enjoy this vibrant, honest, authentic white with mussels, clams or other shellfish. Fantastic value.Tasted: 17 February 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
