Introduction:
The 2022 Ferraton Père & Fils La Tournée Blanc is a fresh and vibrant white wine that highlights the balance of fruit purity and minerality. Crafted by a Rhône Valley specialist, this Vin de France blend offers an easy-drinking yet expressive profile, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.
Terrior:
Sourced from vineyards across southern France, the blend benefits from a mix of clay-limestone and sandy soils, which enhance both freshness and aromatic complexity. The Mediterranean climate, with its warm days and cooling breezes, allows the grapes to ripen fully while retaining bright acidity.
Appearance:
Pale gold with green highlights, showcasing freshness and vibrancy.
Nose:
Expressive and aromatic, featuring notes of ripe pear, white peach, and citrus zest, with floral hints of honeysuckle and a subtle touch of wet stone minerality.
Palate:
Light to medium-bodied with a smooth, refreshing texture. Flavors of lemon, green apple, and melon are balanced by crisp acidity and a delicate minerality. A slight creaminess from lees aging adds depth without overpowering the wine’s freshness.
Finish:
Clean and bright, with lingering citrus and a subtle saline note that enhances the wine’s liveliness.
Overall Impression:
A fresh and fruit-forward white blend that offers both approachability and finesse. Perfect as an aperitif or paired with seafood, light salads, grilled vegetables, or goat cheese. Best enjoyed young to capture its bright and zesty character.
