Passat Minor 2022 Domaine du Clos des Fées

Passat Minor (375ml) 2022

マスカット本来の風味を、もう一度。

20世紀初頭にミュスカ・ド・リヴザルトの成功を支えた、マスカット本来の風味を再現することを目指した、ミュスカ・ア・プティ・グラン100%の甘口です。美しい黄金色から、砂糖漬けの白い果実やアプリコット、マルメロのニュアンス。完熟果実の凝縮した甘みと酸の均衡が見事で、輪郭は驚くほど繊細。凍結直前に近い温度までよく冷やし、フォアグラのテリーヌやブルーチーズとともに少量ずつどうぞ。

Tasting note

Beautiful golden color with hints of candied white fruit, apricot and quince. As for the serving temperature, following the example of Château d'Yquem up until the 1980s, it is best to serve it at a temperature just before freezing (around 0°C), if possible. After refrigeration, place it in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes, then serve it in small amounts, topping it off as needed.

Food pairing

Foie gras terrine and brioche with walnuts, roasted chicken breast stuffed with apricot and ricotta farce, blue cheese and nut platter

Winemaking & technical data

Cultivation

Terroir: clay-limestone soil

brewing

By combining purely physical techniques such as harvesting the grapes at the correct level of ripeness, gentle pressing, controlled fermentation, long-term stabilization, and maceration, Clos des Fées has established an original method for producing stable, elegant, and easy-to-drink wines, but some technical details are kept secret to avoid easy imitation by others.
