Muscat St Jean De Minervois

Description

Clos du Gravillas is 8 hectares on a 300 meter-high plateau of crushed white gravel chips in the
Parc Naturel de Haut Languedoc, squeezed between the canyons of St. Chinian and Minerve,
surrounded by Mediterranean brush and scrub oak. The domaine is worked organically (Ecocert) with respect for the terroir, without herbicides, with care for the preservation of soil life. Weed control is by hand and with well-aged mini caterpillar tractors. Each head-pruned vine is given particular attention during the summer with shoot selection, leaf removal, bunch thinning, and rigorous field sorting. Pickersthrow any grapes not good enough to eat on the ground.

TASTING NOTES

Aromas of pineapple and roses. This wine tastes of pineapple, with a floral nose and lots of mineral freshness.

FOOD PAIRING

As a dessert wine with fruit salads, dried fruits, sweet crepes and meringues and ice cream.
