The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

Calmel & Joseph Amstramgram Les Sacres Rebus Blanc is a unique and refined white wine from the renowned Calmel & Joseph winery in the Languedoc region of southern France. This wine belongs to the exclusive "Amstramgram" series, known for its innovative and unique character. The name "Les Sacres Rebus" refers to the mysterious and playful character of this wine. "Sacres" means "saint" in French, and "Rebus" refers to a puzzle or riddle in which words are depicted through images or symbols. This illustrates the playful and enigmatic nature of the wine, which seems to be an invitation to discover its intriguing flavor.

Les Sacres Rebus Blanc is a blend of carefully selected white grapes from the Languedoc region, typically consisting of Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Rolle, and Roussanne. These grapes are grown and harvested with great care to preserve their optimal ripeness and flavor profile. They are planted in granite and slate soils, which positively influences the character. After harvest, the grapes undergo a settling process at a cool temperature. Alcoholic fermentation then begins at a controlled temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, lasting approximately 10 days. During this process, the fine lees (particles of grape pulp and yeast) are preserved and retained, adding complexity and flavor to the wine. After fermentation and stabilization, the four different grape varieties are aged separately. They are then carefully blended to create a harmonious and balanced wine. This blend is then aged for a further three months on the fine lees, contributing to the wine's texture and complexity.

Calmel & Joseph Amstramgram Les Sacres Rebus Blanc enchants with its bright color and subtle green reflections. The aroma reveals floral aromas with fruity notes of peach. On the palate, this white wine presents itself as full-bodied, fresh, and indulgent, with the fruitiness bringing a delightful roundness without detracting from the wine's beautiful tension. The taste buds are tantalized by notes of invigorating fennel, refreshing peppermint, sparkling citrus, and floral accents.
