Saint-Louis Blanc


IGP Pays d’Oc

 

Description

This wine displays a pale colour with golden sparks set off by a few green tints.  An expressive nose with a blend of apricot, linden, honeysuckle and acacia honey aromas. A complex and aromatic palate, with a exotic hint of mango. The wine shows a well-balanced freshness!

 

Terroir

Château Saint-Louis La Perdrix is located in the commune of Bellegarde, in the heart of the Camargue, between Nîmes and Arles. It boasts 50 hectares of vines on a single piece of land and 7 hectares of olive trees. Its soil, made up of smooth pebbles, is conducive to a maturation of the grapes on a par with the finest wines in the Rhône Valley.

 

Winemaking

Fermentation takes place at low temperature (15-18°C) to bring out the fruit and freshness. 3 months ageing on the lees in concrete vats with a regular stirring of the lees.

The reputation of Château Saint-Louis la Perdrix dates back to the 13th century. During the Capetian era, King Saint-Louis of France used to regularly visit the estate to hunt partridges.
