ABOUT THIS WINE
Château Vignelaure's Vignelaure Blanc 2019 is an organic white wine from the IGP Méditerranée appellation in Provence. The estate, founded in the 1960s and now owned by the Sundstrøm family, is known for its pioneering approach to viticulture in the region. Situated at high altitudes on clay-limestone soils, the vineyards benefit from a cool climate with considerable day-night temperature shifts. This unique environment contributes to the distinct character of the wine, which is a blend of several grape varietals, including Roussanne and Sauvignon Blanc, with potential additions of Viognier, Sémillon, and Vermentino.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Vignelaure Blanc 2019 is produced by Château Vignelaure, an estate committed to organic viticulture. The winemaking process involves blending several grape varietals, including Roussanne and Sauvignon Blanc, with others potentially contributing to the final profile. Fermentation is managed to preserve aromatics, and aging can involve a combination of stainless steel and French oak barrels, as seen in other vintages, to achieve a balance of freshness and complexity.
