Product description for Majas Majas Blanc IGP 2021 (bio)

The 2024 Majas Blanc from Domaine de Majas is classified as an IGP Côtes Catalanes and consists of one-quarter each of Macabeu, Rolle, Grenache Blanc, and Chenin Blanc. The vines are on average 35 years old and produce a good 38 hectoliters. Grown on clay and chalky soils, the harvest is manual, fermentation is spontaneous, and the wine is aged without oak in steel tanks – a fresh, southern French sizzle. Between the Fenouillèdes Valley and the Pyrenees, Agnès and Alain Carrère have created vibrant vineyards from the rugged terroir of their homeland. In 2007, the couple decided to convert to organic farming and sought advice from Tom Lubbe of Domaine Matassa. The clay, chalk, or slate soils in the foothills allow the grape varieties to express their distinct terroir. Vines over 120 years old represent the great potential of Domaine Majas. The old Carignan, Grenache, and Macabeu vines are complemented by young vines planted with Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet, Chardonnay, and Rolle.

Colour

Light yellow with green reflections.

Nose

The nose of the 2021 Majas blanc from Domaine de Majas combines crystal-clear fruit with floral top notes and Mediterranean spice. Nashi pear and yellow stone fruit such as apples or plump pears are garnished with white blossoms in the overtones. Added to this are herbal, green notes of chervil and sage, as well as wild fennel and thyme. A fresh white from one of France’s hottest regions – chapeau!

Palate

On the palate, it is also crystal-clear with a fine viscosity and an invigorating saline character. The extract reveals more of the highly aromatic herbs than the fruit notes, which are more evident in the extract. A simple yet joyful wine that calibrates the level of everyday life and shines in all its simplicity as a solid sip from Monday to Friday.
