CVNE Monopole White 2020

"Fresh and fruity on the nose complemented by smooth, velvety bubbles and raspberry and red fruit flavours on the palate. Enjoy this wine as an aperitif or with dessert." —winemaker

"Pale yellow color with greenish highlights. A young, fruity wine with tropical notes, crisp and expressive on the nose. The palate is smooth with a rich acidity that is remarkably refined and refreshing." —winemaker

"This wine begins with lovely aromatics and a hint of forest floor. It is balanced with bright lively black and red fruits. Notes of sarsaparilla and anise evolve into a velvety full mouth feel that is rich and dense with a long and silky finish. The style is rich & balanced." —winemaker

"Cuvée Centenaire takes its name from the 100 year-old vines of Grenache Blanc and Gris Jean-Marc Lafage farms just a few kilometers from the Mediterranean on gravelly clay soils. One of the greatest white wine values in our portfolio, the final wine blends these ancient grapes with up to 20% younger vine Roussanne. To make a wine that is both rich and balanced the grapes are harvested in two passes, the first when they just reach ripeness and are still high in acidity and a second pass when the grapes are fully ripe with rich fruit flavors. The wine is then aged in a combination of tank and new French oak barrels." —winemaker
