Bila-Haut Chrysopée Blanc 2018 6x75cl

• 75cl bottle

Complex on the nose with notes of fleshy fruit such (apricots, peaches), followed by a floral bouquet. Full of minerality and salinity with great length on the finish.

Vineyards

The grapes come from vines growing in very old schist from the Primary era.

Vintage

The Languedoc Roussillon region bucked the trend this year. Unlike most French wine regions, the Roussillon was spared disastrous weather and extreme temperatures. Production in 2017 was higher than in 2016 and the vintage is of great quality.

Winemaking

Vinification is carried out by the pressing of whole bunches. After a light settling at 12°C for 24 hours, the wine goes into demi-muid barrels. Alcoholic fermentation lasts several weeks. Ageing in demi-muid barrels lasts six months with stirring up of the lees (bâtonnage) over the first two months.
