Ferme des Sept Lunes St Joseph Lune Rousse Blanc

2017 Roussanne The French have the expression "à la lune rousse, rien ne pousse," which means "duiring the red moon, nothing grows". The red moon refers to the moon following easter when it is still too cold for vegetation. The Roussanne in this wine is from a cooler parcel, resulting in a wine with beautiful tension and real energy. It is a bit reminiscent of dry chenin blanc. Vinified in stainless steel tank. Full malo is done, but always an early harvest to preserve freshness. Aged in stainless steel tank, light filtration, NO SO2
