WINEMAKING NOTES
Petit Blanc is a wine that is lithe but not light. It is fun and free of heavy-handed winemaking. No new oak, no malolactic fermentation, no battonage, no nonsense. A wine that hits way above its weight and delivers a strong quality/price ratio. A wine that you can readily open on a weeknight and pair with a variety of cuisines without putting a dent in your wallet.
The 2023 vintage of this unique blend is Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris along with a few other aromatic varieties like Marsanne and Roussanne in the blend making the whole greater than the sum of its parts. Green Citrus fruit, gooseberries, currants and a touch of tropical fruits greet you on the nose. While orchard fruits are tasted on the mid-palate, the finish and the core of this wine have citrus, stone fruit and tropical fruits all wrapped perfectly in balance together. 2023 was a warmer growing season coupled with much smaller yields and as such the resulting wine is richer, rounder and more exhuberant than the previous vintage of 2022 with its cool growing season.
