Description
Isabelle and Rémy Ducellier took possession of this 19th century estate in the mid-nineties and have been producing a stunning array of wines ever since. The Chemins de Bassac vineyards are 100 meters above sea level and located near the village of Puimisson, which is 12 km north of Béziers, hence the vineyards benefit greatly from the nearby Mediterranean Sea. Certified Organic by Ecocert.
Grape: Roussanne
Vineyard: 15 years old vines on on limestone and clay originating from ancient Quaternary alluvial terraces at around 100 m altitude.
Winemaking: The grapes are gently pressed and a light debourbage by cold is made. The clear must is vatted for the fermentation which takes place in concrete tanks. After aging for 5 months the wine is bottled by gravity, without filtration or fining, with just a light sulfur addition.
Personality: generous honeysuckle and cantaloupe aromas, pleasantly round with good acidity. Perfect on its own or with all kinds of finger food and easy light dishes.
