Gris Blanc 2024
IGP Pays d'Oc
100 ml tasting experience
Gris Blanc is an exceptionally refined rosé made primarily from Grenache grown between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean. Its very pale colour hints at a delicate wine marked by freshness, pure fruit and a mineral touch.
The Grenache vines used for Gris Blanc are located around Tautavel in Roussillon, in the heart of Southern France’s wine region. Low rainfall and abundant sunshine allow this leading grape variety for characterful rosés to develop light, fruity, contemporary aromas, creating a style that is both modern and distinctly Mediterranean.
