La Montagne Sacrée 2023
About 'La Montagne Sacrée' by La Sorga:
A captivating 100% Grenache Blanc from 66-year-old vines grown on Villafranchian deposits over basaltic bedrock in Pézenas! These ancient vines yield 35hl/ha of concentrated fruit that truly showcases this terroir's unique character.
Fully destemmed and macerated for 24 days, then aged 8 months on lees in sandstone jars. The nose is a fascinating bouquet of bergamot, saffron, preserved lemon, and candied melon. On the palate, you get Grenache's distinctive mineral structure, gentle spices, and an aniseed finish. The complexity from the stems adds remarkable depth - significantly more complex and dense than previous vintages, with impressive length.
Zero sulfites, zero filtration, zero additives - just pure, natural expression! Only 1,800 bottles produced of this outstanding skin-contact white. More substantial than typical whites, this would pair beautifully with richer fish dishes or even poultry. A genuine masterpiece!
