A blend of 90% Chardonnay and 10% Viognier. Each grape variety is destemmed and vinified separately, no skin contact, low temperature racking at 8°C. 3 weeks fermentation under low controlled temperatures (18°C maximum) with selected yeasts. From the 2nd week of fermentation, 30% of the Chardonnay finishes its fermentation in oak barrels and is then matured in oak barrels for 4 months. The remaining Chardonnay and Viognier are matured in stainless steel tanks. Bottled at 13.5%. (Bottle size 750ml)
Nose: Elegant with notes of tropical fruit, peach and white flowers, hints of vanilla and toasted bread.
Palate: Rich and creamy, tropical, peach, apricot. Good mid-palate weight. Well balanced and textured. Good minerality balancing it out.
Finish: Baked fruits, with a lingering creamy finish.
At the beginning of the 2000s, the French, which at times are perceived as arrogant, no longer had a foothold abroad. Within a couple of years, Arrogant Frog has made itself the mascot of Jean-Claude Mas’ estates. The humble winemaker shows that with creativity, know-how and a sense of humour, one can make Southern French wines shine around the world and give pure pleasure, at a reasonable price!
