Domaine Boucabeille Les Orris Blanc 2022
The wines of the Boucabeille estate are produced mainly on the Forca real hill 15 km northwest of Perpignan. It promotes biodiversity around the vine by planting forest and scrubland but also creates ponds and places dozens of beehives. The Forca real hill is made up of slate schists that date back 450 million years.
The schist allows the vine to penetrate deep in order to find all the elements it needs (water and minerals). The altitude of the vines (505 meters) brings freshness. This terroir also brings roundness and length in the mouth, as well as a lot of finesse and complex aromas.
The vines are grown on schist soils and whole-bunch-pressed. Jean Boucabeille doesn’t plough, to avoid damaging the microbial life in the soil, and doesn’t use machinery in the vineyard, in order to avoid soil compaction. Winemaking is low intervention, with spontaneous fermentation.
Wines are made with direct press of whole clusters before fermentation.
The Domaine Boucabeille Les Orris Blanc 2022 is a bright and balanced white wine from the Côtes du Roussillon region in Southern France. Made from a blend of Grenache Blanc and Roussanne this organic wine reflects the unique terroir of the Roussillon hills, offering a harmonious combination of fruit and minerality. A perfect expression of Mediterranean white wines, it is both refreshing and complex.
