Domaine Sarda-Malet - Le Terroir Mailloles blanc 2005
A stylish, elegant, and sophisticated white!
It is from this same terrace of red Günz Quaternary soil and rounded pebbles that the Mourvèdre and Syrah grapes produce the great vintage “ Mailloles Terroir "red," from which the Roussane and Marsanne grapes in this white wine blend also come. Once again, the greatness of the terroir is well established; one need only taste it to appreciate its richly aromatic nose and its round, full-bodied palate, supported by lovely acidity. A 2005 with obvious potential that will be a delight after one or even two years of aging. Buy your Sarda-Malet wines at the best price in a private sale!

About the estate:
The wines: The 2005Terroir Mailloles white is still marked by its aging, with subtle buttery notes, but it has great potential; it should be cellared for at least another year. As for the reds, this cuvée remains the estate’s finest. A delicious Muscat de Rivesaltes, full of fruit and perfectly balanced, while the 2005 La Carbasse is in the vein of the great vintages.”
