Matassa Blanc 2023 Cabernet Franc Orion Alpha from Pierre MenardFrom the cult followed Domaine Matassa,Tom Lubbe's 2023 Blanc is deeply reflective of his unique approach to wine making. Coming from his biodynamic vineyards in the schist rich slopes of Roussillon, this Grenache Blanc tastes sun soaked. It has a strong emphasis on purity of fruit. Ripe white peach sits with citrus and subtle herbal notes. It's soft, but layered textured and has bright acidity.
