This 2021 Prestige Blanc has spent time developing in bottle, moving beyond primary fruit into more complex tertiary territory. The Roussanne, Marsanne and Viognier blend has evolved beautifully, showing what quality white Languedoc can achieve with patience. Partial barrel fermentation and lees aging contribute to the wine`s textured, layered character. Ripe stone fruit and honeyed apricot with toasted almond, lanolin and waxy notes typical of aged Roussanne. Medium to full bodied with a rich, creamy texture softened by time. The acidity remains fresh enough to keep it balanced rather than heavy. There`s complexity here: citrus peel, dried flowers and subtle spice. Long, evolving finish. Serve cool (10-12°C). This has the weight and development to pair with richer dishes: roast poultry, creamy risotto, lobster, or aged Comte. More food wine than aperitif at this stage. At its peak now, will hold another 2-3 years.
