The vines are only situated on the slopes and is a blend of UgniBlanc, Colombard, Gros Manseng, Chardonnay and Sauvignon of which the proportions vary according to the vintage. The harvesting is done mechanically once the grapes have reached full maturity. The different grape varieties are picked and vinified separately. Fermentation lasts around 15 days, at the end of the fermentation, after one single racking, the wines are aged in vats on their natural lees for 3 to 5 months and then kept in vats at 5ºC, until bottling. The final blending takes place at the end of the ageing and only the best vats will produce Domaine de Pellehaut. As a result this white has a powerful aromatic nose with fresh acidity and intense flavours on the palate. With remarkable fresh acidity, this wine shows a wide-range of aromas on the nose with floral notes , citrus and tropical fruit . The palate is perfectly balanced with good acidity and great complexity, while the Chardonnay adds great length to the wine. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £53.88
