Coume del Mas Collioure White Folio 2025
Price: 26,00€
DESCRIPTION
Folio is crafted from Grenache Gris (90%) and Grenache Blanc (10%) from old vines grown on schist, hand-harvested with the naturally low yields of the Collioure appellation (22 hl/ha). After light pressing and settling, the wine is vinified in barrels at a low temperature, then aged for six months on fine lees.
The nose is expressive, with notes of dried fruits, white flowers, and sweet spices. The palate is ample and generous, carried by a lovely texture and a freshness that balances the whole. A gastronomic white wine, to be paired with chicken with morels, asparagus, or bouillabaisse.
REGION
Collioure
France
Between sea and mountain, the vines of Banyuls, an AOC since 1936, cling to schist slopes that plunge down to the Mediterranean. This spectacular setting, bathed in sun and wind, shapes generous, intense vins doux naturels. The appellation mainly produces reds from Grenache Noir, completed by Grenache Gris and Blanc, as well as amber, tawny and rosé versions.
Banyuls comes in several styles. Banyuls Rimage, made and aged away from air, shows all the freshness of the fruit, with aromas of cherry, blackberry or blackcurrant, sometimes with a touch of chocolate. Approachable young, it shines with dark chocolate, fruit desserts and some blue cheeses. By contrast, Banyuls Traditionnel and Grand Cru go through long oxidative ageing in cask or glass demijohn, developing complex notes of walnut, coffee, spice and rancio. The Grands Crus, from old vines and aged for at least 30 months, stand out for their depth and great ageing potential.
Recommended for you:
A schist-grown white with plenty of body: dried fruits, white flowers, and a hint of spice from the barrel. Perfect with bouillabaisse or chicken with morels.
