Special blend wine from Calmel & Joseph
Les Sacres Rebus Blanc is a blend of carefully selected white grapes from the Languedoc region, typically consisting of Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Rolle, and Roussanne. These grapes are grown and harvested with great care to preserve their optimal ripeness and flavor profile. They are planted in granite and slate soils, which positively influences the character.
After harvest, the grapes undergo a settling process at a cool temperature. Alcoholic fermentation then begins at a controlled temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, lasting approximately 10 days. During this process, the fine lees (particles of grape pulp and yeast) are preserved and retained, adding complexity and flavor to the wine. After fermentation and stabilization, the four different grape varieties are aged separately. They are then carefully blended to create a harmonious and balanced wine. This blend is then aged for a further three months on the fine lees, contributing to the wine's texture and complexity.
