Château La Tuilerie Blanc

Soil : The 35 years old vines are planted on a clay limestone soil, on a hillside, which gives the berries their maturity.

Vineyard area : 3,71ha.

Vine yield : 38hecto/hectare.

Vine growing : The planting density is about 4500 plant per hectare, we work our soils mechanically and practice reasoned agriculture on the property since 1990. We do a short pruning in order to reduce our yields and obtain the best quality for our berries.

Winemaking : The harvest is done mechanically, then we use a sorting table at the winery and temperature control to follow. After a skin maceration of 6 to 8 hours, the berries are pressed to be fermented at controlled low temperature. The ageing is performed on lees for several months.

Tasting : The nose offers notes of juicy apple, white flowers, lily of the valley and small notes of zest associated with touches of minerality. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers an acidulous frame, juiciness, a good definition, suavity, a fine grain, fat as well as a certain roundness. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of lychee, pulpy quenette and small notes of fleshy green apple associated with touches of fresh pear, small exotic fruits as well as fine hints of lime. Good length.
