Nacré de Noir - Blanc de Noirs

2025

"Nacré de Noir" is an oxymoron: born of Black Grenache grapes vinified as a white wine, it embodies the vibrant paradox of an extreme terroir that draws light forth from darkness.

Nacré de Noir - Blanc de Noirs (2025)

Description

Its slightly pearlescent hue preserves the essence of the grapes from which it originates. Here, Grenache Noir reveals its most intimate side: a tannic structure that gives rise to a joyful vibrancy, where the fruit is sensed as a delicate undertone without ever fully revealing itself. It is this extra touch of soul that gives the white wine its unique personality.

Tasting

Its pearly white hue evokes the wine's unique origins. The nose opens with great freshness, blending delicate notes of citrus, white flowers, and minerality. Subtle hints of fresh red fruit (redcurrant, wild raspberry) emerge in the background. On the palate, the wine stands out for its tension and precision. Its texture—at once generous and finely sculpted—is underpinned by lovely minerality and a lingering salinity that extends the tasting experience. The long, luminous finish combines the finesse of a fine white wine with the intimate depth of a red grape variety.

FOOD PAIRING
This exceptional wine will delight gourmets as an aperitif or alongside refined Mediterranean cuisine (grilled red mullet, seafood risotto, herb-roasted poultry, confit tomato puff pastry tart, gazpacho, bouillabaisse, Catalan-style red tuna), as well as with high-quality smoked salmon or smoked ham. It also pairs wonderfully with more unexpected dishes, such as a fragrant vegetable tagine. For dessert, it is a perfect match for fruit salad, strawberry charlotte, or rhubarb crumble. Finally, for adventurous palates, it makes an excellent companion for a platter of blue-veined cheeses (Blue, Roquefort, etc.) or a creamy fresh cheese.

Vinification

After the harvest, the grape clusters spend 24 hours in a cold room prior to pressing. This step preserves the full aromatic potential and limits color extraction, resulting in a true *blanc de noirs* with a delicate, pearlescent hue. Fermentation proceeds slowly in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's aromatic purity and freshness. Maturation continues for eight months in oak barrels on fine lees, with regular stirring (*bâtonnage*).
