GG Grenache Gris White Wine

Description

Winemaker Mark Hoddy runs our Chai Méditerranée close to Béziers, in southern France. He also lives nearby, in Pézenas, so he’s always ready to pounce upon a special parcel of grapes – in the vineyard or when it comes into the cellar. For many years, he’s been watching out for some top-quality Grenache Gris to match what he’d found back in 2012. Finally, in 2022, he succeeded. Such was the richness and deep fruit flavour of the grapes that he made the bold decision to ferment parcel in barrel. That lends a delicious, well-integrated layer of oak spice to the ripe peach, pear and mandarin fruit, with hints of blossom. A beautifully balanced white, with creamy roundness, that makes a tasty partner to sauced chicken or salmon en croûte.
