Country: France   Region: Limoux  Appellation: Languedoc Varietal: Chardonnay/Chenin Blanc Vintage: 2018   Colour: White   Style: Dry Producer: Pierre Fabre Description: Farming practices/vinification: certified organic, following biodynamic principles. Pierre always is the last one to harvest in Limoux - sometimes at the end of October: he looks for perfect maturity, and his organically farmed grapes are more resistant to diseases. Everything is hand-harvested. In the cellar, only indigenous yeasts are used. The fermentation can be very long, sometimes 3 to 6 months. Very little sulfite is added: 1gr per hectoliter at pressing, before the fermentation, to avoid bacteria then 1 gr at bottling. Total: 20 to 25 mg sulfite per hectoliter. The wines are not fined and vegan. AOP Limoux. 60% Chardonnay, 30% Chenin blanc, 10% Mauzac. The grapes are hand picked in small boxes and manually sorted in the cellar before pressing. Fermented with native yeasts and aged on the lees in 1 to 8 year old French oak barrels for 9 months. Goes through malolactic fermentation. Light filtering before bottling. 13,200 bottles produced. 14% alcohol. Tasting Note:  This wine is a wine of stunning quality, it bursts with ripe red apple, lemon and southern French herbs. Dry with a super long finish. Organic and Vegan friendly.
