Showing all the delicate floral aromas one would expect from this wine, it has a full, rich and spicy palate and the potential to last for many years and develop into a complex and intriguing wine. VINEYARD This is a single vineyard wine from the Mule Blanche vineyard which covers 7 hectares on a glacio-fluvial alluvium plain. The vines are 40-60 years old and produce yields of 40 hl/ha. The name Mule Blanche originates from pre-mechanisation times when mules were used to work the vineyards. GRAPE VARIETIES 50% Marsanne, 50% Roussanne VINIFICATION The grapes were hand picked into ventilated 20kg crates. After de-stalking, the grapes are cold-pressed to retain freshness. Fermentation took place in large oak casks. The wine remained in oak on the fine lees with some batonage for a further 6-9 months. TASTING NOTE Pale yellow in colour, Mule Blanche has a delicate, aromatic nose, with perfumes of white flowers, hawthorn and acacia. On the palate it is rich and spicy but well-balanced. Good length with an attractive fresh finish. Per Bottle £13.00 Quantity:
