Nore Grenache Blanc 2024 comes from a wilder part of Southern France where the Montagne Noire protects the vineyards from cooler northern winds, while the transition between Atlantic and Mediterranean influences adds extra tension to its origin. This gives the wine a beautiful combination of floral aromas, roundness, and a clear southern character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"14jexaw\" data-start=\"538\" data-end=\"561\"\u003eVineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"563\" data-end=\"715\"\u003eThe origin plays a much larger role here than one might expect from an accessible Pays d'Oc wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"717\" data-end=\"1701\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"v0babs\" data-start=\"717\" data-end=\"1003\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"719\" data-end=\"742\"\u003eLocation \/ Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Grenache Blanc for this wine grows on the very steep southern slope of the Pic de Nore, northwest of Carcassonne, in the Montagne Noire.

This alludes on the one hand to the dark clouds that often form above the mountains and on the other hand to the former gold mine on this mountain, where gold was extracted until 2003. Gold and silver were also mined from these slopes in the Middle Ages, which gives this wine a remarkably strong local story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Jouclary","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45171017744463,"sku":"2311","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/NoreGrenacheBlancIGPPaysd_OC_65737bf6-14b8-4657-8d42-568f563496e2.webp?v=1779893263","url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.be\/en\/products\/nore-grenache-blanc-igp-pays-doc-2023","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
