2021 Côtes du Roussillon Blanc, Château de l’Ou Wine Republic

2021 Côtes du Roussillon Blanc, Château de l’Ou

Languedoc-Roussillon, France

A refreshing cuvée made from Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris and Roussanne is full of lime, citrus and white fruit aromas leading to a textured palate with beautiful balance and a crisp, mouthwatering finish.

The grapes come from the AOP Côtes de Roussillon, where the vineyards are located within a natural amphitheatre open to the Mediterranean Sea, and surrounded by mountain ranges. The vines are grown on the Roussillon plains where the soils are made up of alluvial marls. The climate is Mediterranean, strongly influenced by cooling coastal breezes combined with mountain freshness from the foothills of the Pyrenees which offer balance to the hot, arid summers. The vineyard is certified organic.

Château de l’Ou is a dynamic, organic estate owned by oenologists Séverine and Philippe Bourrier. Séverine grew up in Africa and returned to her hometown of Bordeaux to study oenology, while Philippe started out as an agronomist working the Hevea plantations in Brazil, where he experimented with organic cultivation. In 1998, Séverine and Philippe Bourrier bought Château de l’Ou, in Montescot, in Roussillon. ‘L’Ou’ translates as ‘egg’ in Catalan, and refers to an ovoid-shape resurgence of water that was located at the site of the property. They immediately converted to organic farming- an avant-gardist approach in Roussillon at that time and the estate is now certified by Ecocert. The estate, which originally comprised 30 hectares: 22 hectares of vineyard and four of olive trees, has been gradually expanded by adding plots from across the region, by 2018, it covered a further 45 hectares. They use their expertise to cultivate the Roussillon terroir with its heat and arid lands to hand-craft wines using a variety of fermentation vessels, from concrete eggs, terracotta and sandstone amphora to barrels, producing stunning, supple cuvées which showcase this distinctive terroir.

Each variety was vinified separately. The grapes underwent skin-contact maceration lasting five days at controlled temperatures of 5°C. Fermentation took place at
controlled temperatures of 14 to 15°C with selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks, to retain the purity of fruit and freshness.
