🏰The 2020 Prieure Roch Vin de France Blanc is a 【unique and intriguing white wine】 from a cult Burgundy producer renowned for its minimal intervention and natural winemaking philosophy. Founded by Henri-Frederic Roch, co-owner of the legendary Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, this estate practices organic farming and whole-bunch vinification without added sulfites. This particular Vin de France Blanc, often a Chardonnay, can sometimes be a skin-contact or "orange" wine, adding to its distinctive character. 👃🏻 It offers a delicate and floral nose with aromas of white flowers like hawthorn and acacia, complemented by subtle notes of white-fleshed fruits such as pear and peach, and a distinct mineral touch. On the palate, this 2020 white is fresh and elegant, boasting beautiful liveliness. Flavors of crisp white fruits are enhanced by fine minerality and a slight salinity, leading to a silky texture and a long, pure finish. Some may even detect a "hair salon smell" or "dirty texture," characteristic of Roch's unique style, alongside white and yellow peaches, fresh minerals, and lemon peel. 🍴 This wine is a perfect companion for seafood, grilled fish, or a fresh salad. It also pairs exceptionally well with goat cheese or various poultry dishes, making it a versatile choice for a range of culinary delights. 🥂 An ideal wine for those who appreciate natural wines and minimal intervention, offering a captivating and thought-provoking experience.
