2021 Chateau L’Hospitalet Languedoc-La Clape La Reserve Blanc
2021 Chateau L’Hospitalet Languedoc-La Clape La Reserve Blanc The fullness, strength and rounded body are counterbalanced by great freshness and a real aromatic complexity with aniseed, mint and garrigue scents with toast and citrus developing into honey-sweet notes. Elegant and balanced, this cuvée has great character and a nice long finish.
Full-bodied and flavorful, white Rhône blends originate from France’s Rhône Valley. Today these blends are also becoming popular in other regions. Typically some combination of Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier form the basis of a white Rhône blend with varying degrees of flexibility depending on the exact appellation. Somm Secret—In the Northern Rhône, blends of Marsanne and Roussanne are common but the south retains more variety. Marsanne, Roussanne as well as Bourboulenc, Clairette, Picpoul and Ugni Blanc are typical.
Essentially a mountain on France’s Mediterranean coast, La Clape’s vineyards vary in elevation by as much as nearly 1,000 feet. This tiny region also boasts some of France’s highest total hours of sunshine and produces aromatic whites from the Bourboulenc variety as well as full-bodied red blends from the usual Rhône suspects.
