Iglesia Vella 2016 Domaine Le Roc des Anges
Iglesia Vella 2016
古い教会の跡地が生む、塩味のフィニッシュ。
1954年に植えられたグルナッシュ・グリ、片岩土壌の単一区画から。カタルーニャ語で「古い教会」を意味する名のとおり、かつて村の教会があった場所の近くに広がる畑です。白い花、洋梨、白桃のピュアな果実に、アーモンドや粉状のミネラル、微かなスモーキーさが折り重なる静謐な香り。透明感と硬質な構造が共存し、細く長いミネラルのラインが余韻へ導きます。魚介のカルパッチョとともに。

Tasting note
Pale lemon yellow in appearance with a slight golden nuance. When swirled in the glass, the viscosity is moderate, suggesting the presence of minerality and calmness that comes from aging. The nose is tranquil and refined, with pure fruit notes of white flowers, pear, and white peach, layered with nuances of almond and hazelnut, powdery minerals reminiscent of limestone, and a subtle smokiness, which develop over time into impressions of honey, fennel, and salty notes like shells. The palate is surprisingly clear and firm. The rounded texture of the Grenache Gris is complemented by a firm acidity that tightens the overall texture, leading to a long, slender mineral finish. The wine is light thanks to its minimal batonnage, and the salty accents add dimension to the palate. The finish is extremely long, with subtle nuances of white pepper and flint lingering.
