LA CIBOISE BLANC 11 CHAPOUTIER
The Luberon appellation ranks among one of the most sun-drenched regions in France with approximately 2,600 hours of sun per year. The presence of vines in the Luberon goes back to antiquity. The Romans planted these vines in particular in the Pays d'Aigues region, and then in the Middle Ages and during the Renaissance, the wine-growing areas spread widely, especially to the north of the Petit Luberon.The development of the vineyards increased at the end of the 19th century and subsequently between the two wars. At the beginning of the 70s the winegrowers of the Appellation, who were conscious of the need to modernize, undertook major works. Their efforts were crowned with success in 1988 when the Cotes du Luberon obtained the Appellation of Controlled Origin. Today, we call it simply "Lubéron"...
This wine is a blend of Grenache Blanc, Vermentino, Ugni Blanc and Roussanne. The color is pale, with green and yellow tints. The nose has aromas of white blossom, lemons and exotic fruits. On the palate there is good balance between the freshness and roundness, with a great length. The wine is aged on fine lees in vats without malolactic fermentation.
