Château de L'Ou blanc 2020 - Côtes du Roussillon (organic)
This cuvée is composed of Grenache Gris and Grenache Blanc, with the addition of Roussane. It shows aromas of citrus and white fruits (apricot, peach), as well as a touch of toast. Power and freshness combine in this versatile wine.
"L'Ou" in Catalan means "egg" in French: it is the name of the place where the property is located and where there was a resurgence of water in an ovoid shape. In 1998, Philippe Bourrier, agronomist, and his wife Séverine, oenologist, bought this 30-hectare estate, planted with 26 hectares of vines and 4 hectares of olive trees, in the commune of Montescot in the Pyrénées-Orientales, 10 km south of Perpignan. The entire property was immediately converted to organic farming.
In 2009, Séverine and Philippe decided to expand the terroirs of the estate with 8 hectares of vines in Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet and 7 hectares of vines in Caudiès-de-Fenouillèdes, conducted in Organic Agriculture, in the Upper Valley of the Agly. In 2017, 7 hectares in Maury completed the set.
