2019 Clos du Rouge Gorge Blanc ‘UBAC’

$220.00

Cyril’s top cuvée of white comes from minuscule yields of 65-70yo vines planted in gneiss on a dramatic 70% north-facing hillside – Ubac is Occitan for the shaded side of a mountain, a location which enhances freshness in the finished wine. Mechanisation is impossible here, so viticulture is either carried out on foot or with the help of a horse. Vinified and aged slowly over 20 months in Stockinger demi-muids, this was bottled by hand with a micro touch of sulphur added at bottling of around 10mg/l. The finesse and lifted aromatics are astonishing, the fruit is so sleek and stylish, the finish goes on forever with gneiss imparting a subtle stony character – the kind of wine that sends shivers down one’s spine and puts most white burgundies firmly in the shade. For drinking now to 2030.
