Mas des Tannes Classique Blanc
WHY WE LOVE IT
- Sourced on a 60-ha vineyard in Montagnac. It is protected by pine trees and the garrigue and nourished by the mild climate of Mediterranean Sea, which is nearby, and the healthy northern wind. It is rich in organic life deep in its clayed-limestone soils, which never came in contact with synthetic chemicals.
- Produced from organically grown grapes
Varietal Composition: 80% Chardonnay, 20% Grenache Blanc
Elaboration: Destemming, pressing under inert gas. Separation of free run juice and first press juice. Fermentation in vats for 3 weeks under controlled temperatures (63° F – 65° F).
