Corbières Calmel-Joseph La Marquise Roussane

A brilliant, luminous, yellow gold wine with green reflections Late pruning pushed back the ripening date of the Roussanne, resulting in aromas of broom flower, gingerbread, and fresh almond, accompanied by curry, aniseed, and white pepper. A period in barrel added complexity and elegance. The Grenache Gris leads with notes of preserved citrus, whist also expressing a lovely minerality characteristic of this altitude terroir. Green apple, rose, lychee and white peach dominate the first palate, followed by touches of mint and nutty notes. A stunning white, of typically continental character, that is both distinguished and generous. Its superb evolution in bottle places it amongst the greatest white wines of the Languedoc.
