Domaine Grand Romane Blanc Bio

White wine | Gigondas AOC

A rarity to discover, that's clear and simple!
This limited cuvée of Clairette reveals floral aromas and citrus notes, with a smooth mouthfeel, both rich and lively. A beautiful expression of old vines on a cool terroir, exposed to the north. Its mineral and saline character makes it a great white wine for gastronomy, to pair with a pan-fried scallops in a slightly lemony sauce or an old Gruyère.

Colour

Bright yellow.

Nose

Aromas of white-fleshed fruits (pear, peach) and white flowers (acacia, etc.). The surprising finish exudes aromas of grapefruit and lemon.

Palate

The wine perfectly expresses the freshness of the terroir and reveals itself to be smooth and lively.

Wine-growing terroir

From the oldest Clairette vines planted in 1955 at an altitude of 300m on the Gigondas hillsides, this wine is a pure rarity. The soil is composed of alternating limestone and Cretaceous marl, with a northwest exposure.

Winemaking

The vines are harvested manually towards the end of September. This vintage is vinified entirely in barrels, 30% of which are new wood, then stirred and aged on fine lees for 9 months.

Pierre Amadieu

Pierre Amadieu was a pioneer in 1929 when he marketed his Gigondas wines. The years passed and the estate grew, becoming the largest private vineyard in the appellation. Many family members take care of their heritage, now certified organic. In Gigondas, the house's precious high-altitude vines produce remarkably balanced wines.
