Lou Coucardié White 2021

This cuvée is baptized after our regional bull - a noble adversary in our tradition of bull games where man is pursued by beast, not the other way around. Strong and courageous, he embodies our ideal. Here we’re exploring new territories with the hope of finding the most intimate expression of our terroir. We started harvesting the whites in the last week of August, noting very low yields but with very good balance, and in particular, acidity well above average. This year, we’re letting some of our white barrels go through malolactic fermentation, and I am convinced that 2021 will be a great year for whites.

Appearance

Nose

The powerful display of complex aromas is layered with a multitude of surprising scents: white flowers, beeswax, sweet spices, star-anise, violet, and vanilla.

Taste

The incredibly dense body, both soft and rich, delivers fully ripe fruits flavors. The finish is an aromatic bounty that offers a delicate harmony that you will long remember.
