Macabeu 2018 Olivier Pithon
片岩が磨いた、マカブの本領。
「収量は多いが個性に乏しい」と、かつてこの地で低く見られていたマカブ。片岩質の区画から生まれたこのキュヴェは、その評価を静かに覆します。林檎やスイカズラ、海風を思わせる香りに、フェンネルやオリーブ、ドライフルーツのニュアンスが重なり、岩を砕いたようなミネラルとレモンの風味が口中を覆います。ピュアで力強く、余韻はどこまでも長く。海の魚貝類や白身の肉、山羊のチーズとともに。
Tasting note
The taste erupts with apple, honeysuckle and sea breeze, with wonderful hints of fennel, olive and dried fruit. It tastes like a mixture of crushed rocks, with lemon and mineral water on top. It is incredibly pure and powerful, with a long finish.
Food pairing
Sea fish and shellfish, white meat, goat cheese.

Macabeu is a traditional variety used to make sweet natural wines, but in the past it was undervalued in the region due to its high yields and lack of impact on the palate. However, this cuvée comes from a schist plot and perfectly expresses the terroir's freshness and minerality. It tastes like a mass of crushed rocks, coated with lemon and mineral water. It is pure and powerful, with a long, lingering finish.
