Description
Domaine Frédéric Brouca Champs Pentus Blanc VDF 2020
Domaine Frédéric Brouca Champs Pentus Blanc has a floral nose with accompanying aromas of candied quince and beeswax. Medium gold color. The dry and medium-bodied palate has a bright acidity and lush texture. Apricot and honey flavours close in a playful and airy finish.
A Roussanne dominant blend with Grenache Blanc. The fruit is grown organically on hillside vineyards in the outskirts of the Faugères appellation.
Hand-harvesting, destemming and gentle pressing of the grapes. A long and slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks and neutral oak barrels (only 20% of the juice).
