Arnaud de Villeneuve - Côtes Catalanes Rancio sec (vin oxydatif)
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
"A rancio made from white grapes aged in glass carboys in an oxidative environment, giving a dry wine full of richness while retaining balance and freshness.
"The winery perpetuates the tradition of old sweet wines and dry rancios assembled through various fusions: real treasures, like this blend of white Grenache and Macabeu draped in a beautiful amber color with hints of honey. The nose is a symphony of incredibly rich aromas: lychee, very ripe white fruit, vanilla, raisins, old champagne, cinchona, quince... The palate is of the same calibre, offering sovereign balance, volume, great freshness, a fine, elegant texture and infinite length. This airy, timeless rancio is a real class act.
