Chateau Fortia Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc
Description: The Domain Chateau Fortia, is one of the oldest of Chateauneuf du Pape. History has it that it used to be an outbuilding of the pontifical castle where the cardinals kept their stables. The domaine took importance when Hercule de Fortia d'Urban took it over.The count of Ripert Monclar wrote in his essay entitled , The Life and Works Of The Marquis Of Fortia of Urban published in 1843 that it was a lovely little hermitage. The lands registry of 1763 offers further proof with the mention of a small farm belonging to the marquis of Fortia maintained on a share-cropping system. However, this Chateau has another important role in history. During the early 20th Century Baron Pierre Leroy, through marriage, became the head of the estate. Due to the deteriorating quality of the Chateauneuf-Du-Pape wines in general, the Baron drew up a charter that became the basis for the AOC wine law system. Today, the Chateau maintains the spirit of the AOC wine laws and after a manual harvesting and a compulsory sorting, , the grapes are transported in small crates in order to ensure their arrival at the cellar in the best of conditions. Only 3 hectares have been put down to white grapes with Roussanne, White Grenache and Clairette making up the majority of the vines. Manually harvested in the winery they are directly pressed and the must is run off into vanished metallic tanks where it is racked to eliminate all large particles. Fermentation takes place in small tanks at 20º C. Once the alcoholic fermentation is completed , the wine is kept in its fine lees. There is no malo-lactic fermentation, in order keep its freshness. The wines are then bottled in the Spring following the harvest. A distinguished wine with a deep gold colour, excellent peachy intensity and a creamy finish. (6 x 75 cl)
