Limited Parcel - Ch. Des Ferrages Mon Plaisir Provence Blanc 2019
From Chateau des Ferrages, part of M. Chapoutier, we have a fresh, citrus white wine.
Next on the list of Limited Parcels, we have a wine from an existing producer we already hold. It comes from the Cotes de Provence region, maybe known more for its rosés, however, this white wine is not one to miss. Available at a great one-off price of £13.50 a bottle while stock lasts.
About the wine:
The wine is a pale-yellow colour in the glass with tints of green. The nose shows a fresh spring character with notes of citrus, grapefruit, hawthorn and pineapple. A fresh palate with flavours of flowers and exotic fruits, revealing a wine which is both floral and mineral. The vintage was near perfect – the grapes were healthy and showed good concentration and balance. This wine would pair well with salads and fish – especially sea bream and sea bass. But versatile enough to go with pizza, grilled white meats, seafood, mild creamy cheeses.
Harvest is carried out by machine at night to preserve freshness and aromas. This white wine is the result of an eight-hour maceration period and pressing. Fermentation is temperature-controlled, alcoholic fermentation is carried out at a low temperature. The wine is aged in stainless steel vats. The vineyards are on clay-limestone soils with varying amounts of sand. Shallow and well-draining soils.
About the producer:
Chateau des Ferrages is located in Pourcieux, halfway between Aix-en-Provence and Saint-Maximin, in the prime plots of the Sainte-Victorie appellation. The coolness of the weather is one of its blessings. Whilst rose wine was already being made at the 8ha Domaine, hillside plots were quickly identified to be able to produce white wine.
There are only 36 bottles available of the 2019 Chateau des Ferrages Mon Plaisir Provence Blanc M.Chapoutier, at this amazing price of £13.50 so don’t hang about, grab a bottle before they go. A fresh and citrusy white wine from Provence, France at a truly unbeatable price.
