Domaine La Cendrillon Nuit Blanches Organic
Country: France Region: South West
Varietal: Grenache Gris, Grenache Blanc, Marsanne & Roussanne
Vintage: 2022 Colour: White Style: Dry
Producer: Domaine La Cendrillon
Description:
Convinced that all great wines spring from a preserved, living environment, Robert Joyeux decided at the beginning of the 2000s that the estate should be organic.
Herbicides have been banished and replaced by tilling and hoeing between the vines. We boost the organic matter in the soil by incorporating shredded vine pruning's, and we encourage microbial activity and moisture retention through the planting of inter-row cover crops that act as green manure. Particular care is paid to maintaining and replanting the natural verges and hedges that surround our vines. The vines are pruned by hand using methods that are traditional in the region –in bush vines on trellises, or in cordon, where a long shoot is left from which fruiting canes develop. The majority of the grapes are also picked and sorted by hand. This transition has been overseen by Eloi Dürrbach of Domaine de Trévallon.
Tasting Note:
Quite complex on the nose: pineapples and gooseberries, ripe peaches and greengages, tarragon and black cardamom. Plus something just a little creamy/leesy. Full, and overflowing with a plethora of fruit from gooseberry green to mango gold and pretty much everything in between. Lustrous fruit, despite being bone dry and cut to shape by a crisp prism of acidity. An intriguing blend of varieties. Do not serve this too cold
Food Matches: Serve chilled as an aperitif , with salads , white meat or grilled fish
