Saint Joseph White 2023 Silice - Coursodon
Directly from the estate
APPELLATION: SAINT JOSEPH
CUVEE: SILICE
GRAPE VARIETY: 100% Marsanne
YIELD : 38 hl / ha.
TERROIR: Blend of 50% clay and 50% granite soil.
EXPOSURE: South South-East. On hillsides.
QUALITY : No mechanization possible, all the viticultural work is manual. Treatment on man's back. Planting density: 7500 vines / ha.
HARVEST: Manual and transport in 40 kg wooden tubs in whole clusters to our cellars. First sorting in the vineyard.
VINIFICATION : Second sorting when arriving at the winery. Long and sweet pneumatic pressuring. All juice manipulation is made by gravity. Racking of the must, natural fermentation at 18°C in stainless steel tanks. And then we wait for malolactic fermentation to obtain a stable wine.
TASTING : Primary aromas dominate, a silky attack in the mouth, the perfect acid-alcohol balance and a very interesting fatness present a remarkable persistence. The pure elegance of Marsanne.
WINE AND FOOD PAIRING: For seafood lovers, this fresh and mineral wine will be perfect. Silice can also be tasted on its own as an appetizer drink.
The sommelier of the restaurant Pic in Valence (Drôme), Michelin guide 3 star, proposes to accompany this wine with “a foie gras of duck from the Landes, whole roast to the poêlon, accompanied by sugar beet ravioles, yellow and bearing juice with soft spices”.
