Patricia & Remi’s shape-shifting white maceration, formerly known as Metonymia, makes a return in a new guise and a return to an old blend. A ten-day whole-bunch co-maceration of Viognier, Marsanne & Roussanne grown over limestone, acquired from the Gard in the south. The wine is pressed off and raised half in steel and half in their imported Spanish tinaja for seven months before bottling with no additions.
A powerfully structured wine, balancing relatively low gravity with bold, mouth-coating tannins. A hazy, sandy gold in the glass, there is an abundance of intense apricot fruits with a peach iced tea-like quality that lends real dryness to the palate as it tails into a long, herb-flecked finish. A true gourmand wine, it is most at home on the dinner table and will stand up to some powerful flavours, be it intense, robust andouillette (tried and tested and lived to tell the tale) all the way through to punchy, aromatic Thai (also verified). Whilst drinking well now in its early days, it has a vin de garde profile that suggests a long life ahead of it.
