Domaine Gardies, Les Glacieres Cotes du Roussillon 2021

Jancis Robinson
"Full bottle 1,330 g. Certified Ecocert organic. Blend of mostly Grenache Blanc/Grenache Gris and Roussanne, with some Macabeu.
It's so distinctive. Yet it smells of almost nothing – maybe of daylight. This wine smells like grey daylight on a late spring morning, like dandelion leaves, like daisies when you lie on a green lawn and bury your nose in them. It tastes like green pears that have been kept in a fridge. And hay. Like sage tea plus a dose of English wry and Irish moss – carrageen, iodine – and an ounce of rock. Liquid modal jazz. 16.5/20 points. (TC)"

Vinous Reverie Notes
Blend: Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris, Maccabeu, Roussanne. The area Gardiés divides two soils, the schists on Espira de l'Agly and the clay-limestone on Vingrau under the cliffs. Jean Gardiés, has the precept of respecting the soil and nature, the main work is done first in the vineyard. Year after year the wines are silky, harmonious and pure. Tasting Notes: Pale yellow color The nose is subtle aromas of apricot, citrus and peaches. On the palate, freshness, lively acidity and flavors of citrus fruits and peaches. A beautiful, persistent finish. Delicate. Food Pairing: Fish, shellfish, chicken, pork and cheese.
