Chateau de L'Ou, "Secret de Schistes Blanc" Cotes Catalanes 2022

96 points Jeb Dunnuck
"The 2022 Côtes Catalanes Secret De Schistes Blanc is all Grenache Gris that was raised in a mix of barrels and amphora. Attractive apple and melon fruits, some honeyed mineral and floral nuances, medium to full body, and both good concentration and acidity all make for a beautiful white wine in the making."

Vinous Reverie Notes
"Grenache Gris from Roussillon is an insider's wine. Those who know it find it to be one of, or not the most exciting varietal Mediterranean whites. It captures the spirit of Roussillon. And this is just what this stunning wine does. If you've ever heard the first few minutes of Eternal Eclipse's Fateo of the Fallen, you'll know, and feel, the sense of haunting, precipitous tension that this extraordinary sea-green-salty wine pulls you in close with. It's a stone-whisperer of a wine. Its complexity and structure is like a mosaic set by hand into a cliff face in the middle of a storm. It's a wine that tastes like music: It reverberates; it resonates. It has the lonely sweetness of Freya Ridings' Castles'. It's a wine of descant, harmony and minor key. It will age, and it will be beautiful at every age. It's worth twice the price." ~ Tamlyn Currin from JancisRobinson.com
