Rice Bran 2022 Olivier Piton

Laïs Blanc 2022

カルスの多様性を映す、塩気ある白。

Laisはオリヴィエが飼うカタルーニャ産の牛の名で、カルスのテロワールの多様性を象徴してラベルに描かれています。淡いレモンイエローの色調から、白い花やアカシア、熟した洋梨、柑橘の皮が繊細に立ちのぼり、石灰や火打石のニュアンスが複雑さを添えます。マカブとグルナッシュ・ブランの重厚さに、グルナッシュ・グリの華やぎ。シスト土壌由来の塩味が骨格を引き締めます。ホタテのポワレや鱈のブランダードと。

Tasting note

Pale lemon yellow colour. From the glass, delicate nuances of white flowers, acacia, ripe pear, and citrus peel emerge, while mineral notes of lime and flint add complexity. The mouthfeel is supple yet firm, with an impressive firm structure that hints at the saltiness of the schist soil. Along with the ripe fruitiness, fresh acidity beautifully supports the overall flavor, and subtle nuances of vanilla and nuts from barrel aging add to the aftertaste. An elegant and well-balanced wine with long-lasting aging potential.

Food pairing

Cod brandade, pan-fried scallops with lemon butter sauce, goat cheese and herb tart
