Introduction:
The 2024 Villa Roca Le P’tit Blanc is a lively, organic white wine from the Languedoc that celebrates freshness and simplicity. Crisp, fruit-forward, and elegantly restrained, it’s crafted for easy enjoyment and captures the sunny Mediterranean spirit in a refreshing glass.
Terroir:
Produced by Domaine du Clos Roca near Pézenas, the vineyards are farmed organically on stony, sandy, and basalt-rich soils. The Mediterranean climate brings ample sunshine for ripeness, while cool breezes and nighttime temperature drops help preserve aromatic intensity and bright acidity.
Appearance:
Pale lemon with silvery highlights, clean and luminous.
Nose:
Expressive citrus and orchard fruit aromas dominate—lemon zest, pear, and green apple—balanced by floral hints and a touch of Mediterranean herbs.
Palate:
Light-bodied and zesty, offering flavors of citrus, melon, and stone fruit, underscored by refreshing acidity and a subtle saline edge. Smooth in texture, with just enough roundness to balance its brightness.
Finish:
Crisp, clean, and mouthwatering—lingering with citrus peel and a gentle mineral note.
Overall Impression:
The 2024 Le P’tit Blanc is the definition of an easygoing Mediterranean white—fresh, vibrant, and uncomplicated, yet with enough nuance to hold your attention. Its citrusy lift, orchard fruit charm, and mineral backbone make it perfect for aperitif sipping or as a companion to salads, seafood, and grilled vegetables. A straightforward but stylish organic white that showcases the sunny elegance of the Languedoc.
