Sugared mint, citrus blossom, crushed rocks, hints of lavender, and lime all emerge from the 2016 Collioure Chrysopée Blanc, which is a blend of 90% Grenache Gris and 10% Grenache Blanc brought up in tank. It’s concentrated, medium to full-bodied, and textured, yet also straight up seamless, silky, and long. I struggle to think of a better white I’ve tasted from the region. This fabulous white can be drunk over the coming 2-3 years or cellared for a decade or more. ... More details

The 2016 Collioure Chrysopée Blanc, a blend of 90% Grenache Gris and 10% Grenache Blanc, was barrel fermented and aged in demi-muids. It shows subtle aromas of toasted grain, lime and orange zest. Medium-bodied, with tremendous briny freshness and length, it should be enjoyed over the first few years of its life.
Winery
Appearance: Very intense golden hue. Nose: Complex on the nose with notes of fleshy fruit such as apricots and peaches, followed by a floral bouquet. Palate: Fresh attack, full of minerality and salinity with great length on the palate.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France.

This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
