A blend of Clairette, Grenache Blanc, and Roussanne.
The Sinards Blancs is elegant golden-yellow with shiny and slightly green undertones. This wine reveals a subtle nose of delicate aromas of limes, apricots and almonds. While balanced, the mouth offers beautiful notes of white flesh fruit, honey, and fennel, and ends with a superb saline finish which gives it a lot of character.
This scarce wine comes from a 2.5-acre vineyard located within the "clos" around the historical pope's palace. The soil is diluvial alpine deposits with rolled pebbles on clay.
On arrival at the winery, the grapes are pressed using a pneumatic press. The must is refrigerated and the settling is done by cold maceration, without any additions. The alcoholic fermentation starts in the tank and as of the first day, the must is put into demi-muids barrels. Regular bâtonnage is carried out in order to bring roundness and structure to the wine. After several months in barrels, the wines are slightly fined before bottling.
