Domaine d'Aupilhac Les Cocalières Blanc 2023
One of most beautifully textural, poised and moreish wines we’ve tried in a while. With its richly concentrated flavours of apricot, citrus blossom and almond, it has mineral drive and freshness, keeping it composed and taut. Roussanne, Rolle, Marsanne, Clairette and Grenache Blanc are hand harvested from the estate’s cooler Les Cocalière vineyard. It’s fermented and aged for 10 months in 600 litre oak demi muids.
Three generations of Fadats have farmed in Aupilhac, set under the mountainous plateau of Larzac, in the Languedoc. In 1989 Sylvain Fadat established the estate, changing the family's course from being farmers to full time vigneron. As well as nurturing the original 13.5 hectare, south facing vineyard, Sylvain began establishing the 10 hectare Les Cocalieres vineyard in 1998. It’s set at higher altitude and on cooler, north facing slopes. These two vineyards are farmed biodynamically, with full organic and demeter certification.
