Chateau La Sable White, petite M Luberon
APPELLATION: AOP Luberon
GRAPE VARIETIES: Rolle 80%, Marsanne 18%, Roussanne 2%
TERROIR: The vines are located in Cadenet, in the Luberon Natural Park. They are at altitude between 280 and 350 meters and surrounded by olive trees and oak trees. The soil is fresh and made of clay, on terraces well windswept and facing north-west, which makes it perfectly adapted for these white grape varieties.
WINE MAKING: Hand-harvest in small cases. Hand selection of the grapes. Light pressing of whole bunches, with a pneumatic press. Alcoholic fermentation for about 2 weeks at low temperature to protect flavours. Aging in stainless steal tanks on fine lees.
TASTING NOTES: Limpid, brilliant and crystalline, pale yellow colour with silver highlights. Expressive on the nose, this wine reveals intense aromas of peach and citrus. These fruity notes are enhanced by delicate floral notes. On the palate, this wine is well-balanced, with a full, fleshy attack that evolves towards greater freshness and liveliness, and a very elegant, saline finish.
The letter M comes from the vineyard location, a place called “Mauconseil”, across the road from La Sable, our original vineyard.
