Description
In a nutshell:
A fresh and light aromatic, sweet Muscat de St-Jean-de-Minervois from the Languedoc.
The lowdown:
This delicious Vin Doux Naturel is a sweet wines where the fermentation has been stopped by the addition of neutral spirit and resulting in a wine with a high level residual sugar and ABV of 15% in this case. St-Jean-de-Minervios is one of the Languedoc's well known examples. It's fresh, light and aromatic with a clean and delicate palate showing pineapple and floral notes with ripe tangerine undertones and a long, clean length.
The Producer:
Clos du Gravillas a fantastic little domaine based in the hamlet of Saint-Jean de Minervois, deep in the Languedoc. Founded in the 1990s and run by local girl Nicole Bojanowski and her American husband John on completely organic principles they produce wines "that talk and help make magic moments with friends sat around a table". Their landscape is rough and rugged 'garrigue', so is great for vines. And with the vineyards on 300m high slopes the cool evening breezes help the fruit retain its natural acidity while hot summer days build good structure and depth. In some ways the domaine is a bit old school, growing tiny parcels of 15 different varieties, quite a few of which have been there a lifetime. As a result they turn out a number of different wines all of them small production and full of interest.
When to drink:
Clean and bright enough to enjoy chilled as an aperitif. It also goes well with things like an apple pie or blue cheeses.
