Grand Marrenon White Wine from Luberon

Description

Grand Marrenon White Wine AOC du Luberon

The Marrenon winery is located between the Rhône and Provence regions, more precisely in the Luberon and Vantoux. The winemakers at Marrenon use methods that respect the environment. The Grand Marrenon white wine is grown on the best clay-limestone terroir in the Luberon, which naturally offers low yields on these plots (30 hectolitres per hectare). This white wine is a blend of 3 grape varieties: 55% Vermentino, 40% Grenache Blanc and 5% Roussanne.

Harvesting generally takes place in the first week of October, with all the grape varieties harvested simultaneously and blended at the pressing stage. The rest of the blending is done in barrels (40%) in new barrels or barrels already used the previous year for a period of 6 months.

On the palate, the texture is well-balanced, with light notes of wood and honey. The finish is more toasty, with vanilla notes and a long finish.

Ideally, this white wine should be served at a temperature of 12 degrees, ideal as an aperitif, with seafood or poultry.
