A Gift of Pure Macabeu Expression

Made from 100% Macabeu grown using biodynamic methods, this wine expresses the unique character of its terroir through a low-intervention approach: natural fermentation with wild yeasts, unfined, and unfiltered. Minerality derived from the clay-limestone soil intertwines with nuances of ripe fruit, nuts, and dried herbs, creating a complex and profound aroma. The palate offers a moist texture, with umami, salty minerality, and gentle acidity harmonizing to create a pure yet deep flavor. With very low residual sugar, it has a dry finish. This wine reflects the essence of the land and the grapes, born from minimal intervention.

Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
The appearance is a slightly dark lemon yellow to pale gold. A slight cloudiness and viscosity, typical of unfiltered wines, may be present.

The aroma has a natural expansiveness, with notes of ripe pear, yellow peach, and dried apple, along with nuances of almond, hazelnut, dried herbs, and fennel. This is further layered with mineral notes reminiscent of limestone and chalk, and subtle yeast-derived brioche and smoky tones, creating a complex and multi-dimensional bouquet.

The palate has a moist texture, with a rich fullness accompanied by an oily sensation. The umami, characteristic of low intervention winemaking, comes to the forefront, while salty minerals and gentle acidity provide balance. It is dry yet deep, with a slight phenolic bitterness that outlines the flavor.

The finish is long, with lingering notes of nuts, dried fruits, and herbs, creating an impressive finish where purity and complexity coexist.

Pairing
Pan-fried white fish (with browned butter sauce)
Creamy chicken thigh stew (with thyme and rosemary)
Aged cheese (Comté and Mimolette)
