Jeb Dunnuck 95pt

Mostly Grenache Gris, the 2021 Collioure Chrysopee Blanc is absolutely gorgeous stuff, and I'd put this up with anything coming from the South of France. Based on 90% Grenache Gris and 10% Grenache Blanc, it has incredible notes of crushed pineapple, honeyed citrus, and spicy wood, with a kiss of background liquid rock-like minerality. Medium-bodied, focused, concentrated, and flawlessly balanced, with a certainly salty, mineral character on the finish, it will shine on the dinner table over the coming decade (although I see no need to delay).

Food Pairing

Serve with clam risotto at a temperature of 12C.

Harvest

Harvested in the morning to take advantage of the sea freshness. Picked by hand and placed into crates.

Maturing

Ageing in demi-muid barrels lasts six months with stirring up of the lees (bâtonnage) over the first two months.

Tasting Notes

Colour: very intense golden hue. Nose: complex on the nose with notes of fleshy fruit such (apricots, peache), followed by a floral bouquet. Palate: fresh attack, full of minerality and salinity with great length on the palate

Terroir

The grapes come from vines growing in very old schist from the Primary era

Vinification

Vinification is carried out by the pressing of whole bunches. After a light settling at 12C for 24 hours, the wine goes into demi-muid barrels. Alcoholic fermentation lasts several weeks.
