Domaine Ferrandiere Blanc Coteaux de Miramont 2015
l'Aude, Vin de Pays d'Oc, Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceDomaine Ferrandiere is another piece of the Paul Mas empire. The property is located in the Coteaux du Miramont, a IGP that sits between Carcassonne and Narbonne. The vineyard itself sits on an old maritime lagoon that lies only 40 kilometers from the cooling Mediterranean. Mas says the salty soils set this piece of dirt apart from nearby terroirs that includes a yearly flooding to flush the salt out of the soil. The white blend is a mix of chardonnay, viognier and pinot gris that is quite aromatic and floral with a strong quince undercurrent and light yellow colour. The palate is an odd mix of salty, mineral, stone fruit and tropical flavour with pineapple and vanilla predominating. The ripe peachy fruit flavours are not my favourite but with pork or perhaps a savoury roast chicken it could all come together.Tasted: 06 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $21.99 | 750ml | estimated retail |
