In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Pour a glass and taste what cool coastal air and ancient limestone do to Grenache Blanc. The 2023 vintage emerges lemon-bright, with lifting citrus character and a mineral snap that keeps it dancing on the palate. A bone-dry Mediterranean white shaped by the Languedoc's sea breezes and lagoon microclimate, where the hot, dry growing season delivered grapes of excellent ripeness balanced by the acidity these coastal conditions preserved.

The Winery — Monrouby

Monrouby is a small village in Languedoc, near Pomérols, where vines root into Costières terraces—ancient, stony benches layered with limestone, red marl, and clay. Winemakers Alana McGettigan and Matt Thomson, who craft the Baron de Badassière and Vignes de L'Eglise for us, were impressed with the fruit from this village and chose to vinify this Grenache Blanc separately. Their approach captures particular character through skin contact before a gentle pneumatic press and cool fermentation in stainless steel—unoaked, primary fruit-forward, and made with intention.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

This is the kind of white that makes sense with raw oysters, grilled fish, warm salads, and fresh cheese—honest, food-ready, and priced for everyday drinking. Vegan and vegetarian friendly, it belongs on the table far more often than wine-shop labels might suggest. Serve chilled as an aperitivo or alongside lighter courses; its brightness cuts through seafood preparations and complements poultry with equal ease.
