CHATEAU TOUR BOISEE
A.O.C. MINERVOIS WHITE CUVEE A MARIE-CLAUDE This wine is made from three wine plants Marsanne(70%), Maccabeu(23%), and Muscat Petit Grains(7%). The grapes are handpicked, traditionnally pressed and transferred into oak barrels half-way through the alcoholic fermentation without any temperature control. Our open air cellar, located under a stone vault at the foot of the 12th century Tower in the garden (Tour boisée), hosts this wine in oak for over a year. As the cellar is not isolated from the outside there is no temperature controlled devices, allowing a northern climatic exposure and hence for "nature to do what it does best". The Marie-Claude White is the result of a research initiated in 1988 to elaborate a white wine for ageing. Those who appreciate a wooden touch (from the barrel) may drink it immediately, and for those who prefer to wait 3 to 5 years may do so. Free your imagination when choosing your meal with this white. Great with fresh fish and spicy herbs, seafood platters, white meats, tasty cheeses.
