About Clos des Centenaires Roussanne blanc

Roussane and marsanne form the perfect marriage. Very often these two white varieties, originating from the Rhône Valley, are blended to obtain dry or full-bodied sparkling wines. One of them is Clos des Centenaires Roussanne blanc.

The Clos des Centenaires winery, located in Vauvert (in the southeast of France), is the creator of this wine that is produced under the Costières de Nimes AOC. The two owners, Luc Baudet (Château Mas Neuf) and Bruno François (Clos des Américains) will supervise the vineyards, located between the Rhône, Cévennes and Camargue. In this area, the vines grow on pebbly soils over clay-limestone soils and are mainly influenced by two factors: on the one hand, the strong Mistral wind, and on the other, the convection effect that limits the temperature contrast. Specifically, this phenomenon occurs when the cold sea breezes from the Mediterranean (about 20 km away) come into contact with the pebbles on the ground, which retain the heat. This causes the fluctuation between day and night to be smoother, thus ensuring that the grapes do not dehydrate and reach a high degree of baumé (susceptible to becoming alcoholic). This results in wines with a freshness that is almost exclusive to the appellation. In terms of work and winegrowing, everything is done manually and naturally.

In the Clos des Centenaires Roussanne blanc cellar, it goes directly to the press and is then racked into a cold tank, where it will eliminate mud and herbaceous substances for a few hours. This will result in a clean must that, after fermentation – in 10 Hl foudres with native yeasts – will give higher quality wines. Clos des Centenaires Roussanne blanc is aged here in temperature-controlled cellars. Once it has reached its full potential, it will be bottled on the property.

2019

Clos des Centenaires Roussanne blanc 2019 is an aromatic white wine. The bouquet is exotic, featuring scents of linden blossom, kumquat citrus, and a subtle sweet toasted hint reminiscent of calisson. On the palate, it is vibrant and mineral-rich, with a creamy texture and striking contrast. It culminates in a lengthy and refreshing finish. Best cellared and consumed in two years.
