Lower ABV You rarely read winemakers’ notes here, but this one is too good even edit: “To enjoy the Marie’s cuvée, you have to enjoy simple things. Direct and immediate things. This wine is mainly about fruit. Intense. Citrus generally, grapefruit specifically. Then it’s about tightness and freshness. Finally, it’s a bit of iodine, saline, sapidity. Everything you need to pour a bit of sunshine into your glass.” If you love snappy Sauvignon Blanc or bold Italian whites like Vermentino and the snappy, fresh, whites of Gascony, this is going to knock your socks off for not very much money at all.
The Winemakers and Winery
Stephanie and Oliver Rame took over her family's Cabardes vines n 2010 with the goal of making "no makeup" wine - something that says, "here we are in Cabardes, halfway in Bordeaux and halfway in Languedoc." You'll find some of white Bordeaux's characteristic white grapefruit here along with the sunny, ripe, character of wines of the Sud.
The Winemaking and Wine
Like the whites of Gascony, not too far away, this is based on snappy, fresh, Columbard with just 5% Rolle (aka Italy’s Vermentino) picked in the dead of night and showered with dry ice “snow” in the vineyard to keep things fresh on the way to the winery. Done all in steel with no exposure to oxygen at all with malolactic blocked for even more energy and just two months on the lees for freshness and verve.
