Côtes du Roussillon, Roussillon, Languedoc Roussillon, France
Unsure of the exact blend here, either Macabeu/Syrah or Macabeu/Muscat, either or, delicious.
Cloudy golden straw color. Ripe pineapple, overripe pear and white flowers on the nose. Honey, apricot, cinnamon (light), medium acidity on the palate.
Biodynamic and spontaneously fermented. Paired this along halibut cooked in sous vide then quickly pan finished with a touch of butter on the stove, a decent combination. I think this wine would shine with something fatty, like foie gras or a good hard cheese.

Another quaffer. Pure, fresh, textural. Apparently a skinsy, but ever so lightly so. Apple, pears, candied ginger, ripping acidity, saline. So delicious and so refreshing in the tropical weather.
First time trying this producer and wine. From old vine Macebau, might contain a touch Syrah and/or Muscat - the information varies online. Biodynamics, minimal intervention.

Tasting pour at Raw Wine LA. Another “original” from Clot d’Origine, this is a dry white blend of Macabeu and direct press Syrah. Didn’t take notes so I hesitate to score, but recall enjoying it for its unique character.
