A beautifully crafted southern French white, Grand Vin Blanc 2022 is made from old-vine parcels of Vermentino and Chardonnay, grown on clay-limestone soils with a prized north-facing exposure. Certified Organic and Demeter, this cuvée reflects meticulous vineyard work and sensitive, low-intervention winemaking.
Hand-picked grapes are carefully sorted before whole-bunch pressing and fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The wine undergoes low-temperature fermentation in barrel, with regular stirring on fine lees to build texture and complexity. Aged for 8–10 months in new and one-wine oak barrels, then blended and rested in bottle, it achieves a seamless balance between richness and freshness.
Golden and lightly honeyed in hue, the nose is layered and expressive, with hints of toast alongside vibrant citrus and white orchard fruits. The palate is generous yet poised, offering lovely volume, bright acidity and impressive persistence, finishing with a delicate saline touch. Oak ageing lends roundness and depth while preserving the wine’s natural energy and precision. Capable of ageing for up to seven years, it combines Mediterranean warmth with remarkable refinement.
