‘Une Tranche Sudiste Blanc’

Bourboulenc & Clairette, Rhône, France

Much like the Big Bad Wolf dressed as granny, this wine features stunning Rhône fruit under a glossy Bojo guise. Established natural wine radicals Phillipe and Catherine Jambon work to collaborate and create community, as well as a platform for their fellow natural French producers. The ‘Tranche Sudiste Blanc’ features the fruit of Côtes du Rhône winemaker Paul Tardieu of Domaine Denis. A petite slice of the south, the blend is made from citric and bodied bourboulenc (50%), with musky and properly-fruited clairette (50%), macerated for a few hours before pressing. Lime leaf, fennel flower, banana juice roundness, boxwoods in bloom, chirping acidity & an undulating texture that stops you right in your tracks.
