Practising Biodynamics
Purchased from the organically certified Domaine de Rancy, the maccabeu comes from 70yo vines planted on the lower slopes of Montner in a schist derived soil. Aged in cuve primarily with just 15% in barrique for a little added texture, sulphur here is a very low total 10mg/l, the wine is very pure, and the fruit supple and attractive, with pears and peach to the fore and a hint of spice and pepper, with a nice saline touch on the finish.
