Our Tradition Blanc cuvée, AOP Corbières, is rated 18/20!
Here are the comments of the Favorite:
On a territory of rolled pebbles, this very beautiful Corbières Blanc rests on a dreamy blend, of which Roussanne (50%) constitutes the framework with a tender and enveloping touch of mouth, a rich bouquet of white fruits. The quarter of Vermentino smacks of citrus aroma and final freshness and draws on an additional complexity of a quarter of Bourboulenc, delicious on candy sugar and exotic fruits (pineapple, mango). The mouth is balanced, maturing on fine bindings gives the finish a toasted note of toasted hazelnut which prolongs its delicacy. A delight !
