Domaine Roc d'Anglade - Mitis - Blanc Liquoreux 2003
Roc d'Anglade is located in Langlade in the Guard. The village of Langlade has a Grand Cru wine tradition. In the 19th century, before the destruction of the vineyard by phylloxera, the village of 650 inhabitants counted 165 winegrowers and 625 hectares of vines. Roc d'Anglade was created in 1999 and became the third property of the modern Cru era. The vines, grown organically by Rémy and Martine Pédréno, spreads over 7.5 hectares. The terroir is made of clay-siliceous on limestone marls, facing due north.
Mitis is a very rare micro-production from the domain. It is a sweet white wine made entirely from Chenin Blanc. In 2003, the summer heat wave was the occasion for Rémy and Martine Pédréno to wait four more weeks and make this raisiny harvest by the passerillage method. The 60 grams of residual sugar per litre are balanced by the beautiful natural acidity that Chenin Blanc offers. Mitis 2003 has great aging potential.
Grape variety: 100% Chenin Blanc
