Introduction:
The 2023 Mas de Gourgonnier "Les Alpilles" Blanc is a vibrant and expressive white wine from Provence, France. Produced by the historic Mas de Gourgonnier estate, a pioneer in organic viticulture since 1975, this blend beautifully captures the Mediterranean influence and rugged terrain of the Alpilles region.

Terrior:
Nestled in the foothills of the Alpilles mountains, the vineyards thrive in rocky, well-draining soils composed of decomposed granite and limestone. Surrounded by wild herbs like rosemary, thyme, and lavender, the vines absorb subtle garrigue aromas, adding depth to the wine’s character. The strong mistral winds keep the grapes healthy, ensuring freshness and purity in the final wine.

Appearance:
Pale straw yellow with brilliant clarity, reflecting its vibrancy and crisp nature.

Nose:
Fresh and aromatic, with bright citrus notes of lemon zest and grapefruit, intertwined with hints of white peach, apricot, and crushed almonds. Subtle herbal tones of fennel and wild thyme add complexity, alongside a delicate mineral streak.

Palate:
Crisp and lively, with a beautiful balance of ripe stone fruits and citrus flavors. Lemon, nectarine, and golden apple mingle with a refreshing acidity that keeps the wine energetic. A touch of salinity and wet stone minerality gives depth, while a soft, rounded texture from the Grenache Blanc and Rolle components adds elegance.

Finish:
Long and clean, with lingering notes of citrus, ripe pear, and a hint of fresh herbs, leaving a refreshing, mouthwatering impression.

Overall Impression:
A beautifully crafted, expressive white blend that captures the essence of Provence’s terroir. With its balance of fruit, acidity, and herbal nuances, this wine is highly versatile—perfect for warm-weather sipping, seafood pairings, or enjoying alongside fresh Mediterranean cuisine.
