Le Fruit Defendu Blanc 2020
Vin de France (Languedoc)
“Vine growing and wine are in my blood. With my native Burgundian background, Magellan was an opportunity to write my own story. The Languedoc offers new terroirs, grape varieties and challenges. Now after 20 years of living the land, I relish each new vintage and in doing so have been privileged to now make wines that I enjoy, mirroring both my culture and second home.” – Bruno Lafon
The wine’s name, Le Fruit Défendu, translates to “The Forbidden Fruit” in French, alluding to both the Story of Creation and the new “Garden of Eden”. The status of organic products and eco-friendly wines have both been categorized at times as being only for the hobbyist. However, like Eve in the Garden, once tasted, a new empowerment is realized.
Beautiful subtle aromas of Muscat complimented together with bright notes of citrus and melon imparted from the Grenache Blanc and Colombard grapes are all carried through to the palate. The palate is fresh, fruit forward with a lovely lingering expression.
Vineyard
Only certified organic and/or sustainably farmed fruit are utilized to handcraft the finest environmentally sensitive wines. Soil in Languedoc varies dramatically, from shale to stone stone to clay, resulting in naturally balanced wines from the qualities each type gives.
Winemaking
The grapes are pressed slowly and at very low pressure before cold settling and fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. 45% Grenache Blanc, 45% Colombard, 10% Muscat Blanc a Petit Grains
Tasting Note
