Domaine Clos du Rouge Gorge (Cyril Fhal)
Côtes Catalanes White Blend
Languedoc Roussillon, France
Light golden in color.
Nose of citrus, peaches, yellow apples, spices, light earth and herbs.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with lemons, red and green apples, minerals, light grapefruits, herbs, spices, earth, light oak and light sea salt.
Long finish with limes and light almonds.
This is a delicious white blend from Southern France. Round and rich. Elegant and nicely balanced. Complex and interesting.
As it warms up, it feels like a white Burgundy. So interesting.
This Single Vineyard is drinking beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 20 minutes of airtime.
A great sipping wine that paired nicely with food too.
A blend of 68% Grenache Gris and 32% Macabeo. Aged on its lees, in used large French oak barrels for 14 months. Unfiltered and unfined. A small production of less than 2,000 bottles.
14% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$50.

Ginger and lanolin, pretty white, lots of herbal twists with nice texture, too

First time trying this producer. Weighty and dense fruit, but with good supporting acidity. Very good with food.

fine textured, lively tart apple, gooseberry, cut herbs - tarragon-esque.

First time I taste Macabeu and I am impressed how tasty and unique it is : very good alternative to Pinot Noir when you look for light empowered wine to match with fish for instance.

17+. Not a blend - 100% Macabeu. Must be best I've had of this cepage. Golden but clear, with legs. No oak. Bio. Great balance, good length. 13%. ##
