Barlet Raymond & Fils, Marestel Tradition 2023

DESCRIPTION
The Marestel cru is undoubtedly the most prestigious terroir for Altesse in Savoie. Situated on the steep hillside of Jongieux, this vineyard benefits from exceptional sun exposure. The Barlet family (Cave du Prieuré), winegrowers for five generations, cultivates this indigenous grape variety with passion, producing wines renowned for their richness and aging potential.
Sourced from the 2023 vintage, this Marestel is vinified to express the power of the terroir. The Altesse naturally develops a superior aromatic complexity here. The traditional vinification in tanks preserves freshness while allowing the wine to develop its richness (gras) and characteristic structure over the months.
This white wine is distinguished by a palate marked by a beautiful volume of fruit, counterbalanced by racy bitterness typical of Altesse. The finish is both tender and fresh. A great mealtime wine that will sublimate a monkfish with saffron, Abondance cheese, or a spicy Thai broth.
REGION
Savoie
France
La Savoie est une région viticole française montagneuse situé vers la frontière suisse. La région est très fragmenté par son relief montagneux. Le climat frais de la Savoie dicte la prédominance de vins blancs vifs produits dans la région. Malgré la difficulté des rouges à mûrir dans ce type de climat, la Savoie est la maison de la Mondeuse, un cépage rouge utilisé pour faire des vins avec une importante amertume.
Recommandé pour vous:
A very great white wine. It is powerful and complex, perfect with fish in sauce or an aged cheese.
