Description

Product description for Roc des Anges Cioran IGP NV

Info

Plots of Grenache Gris, Macabeu, and Grenache Blanc grown on slate and aged for 6 years under flor. The story of this wine began in 2006 with three barrels that had acquired oxidative notes. These barrels were set aside for aging without rushing things. Over time, a layer of yeast (flor) developed. It was named Cioran, in reference to the anagram. One can also draw a parallel with the writer of the same name, whose style was sharp, straightforward, and concentrated. These characteristics are reflected in the wine. Like the other dry white wines of Roc des Anges, Cioran is harvested early, which gives it its unmistakable style.

Colour

Intense and bright golden yellow.

Nose

The Cioran presents itself as an invigorating and very individual white wine; as previously announced, its aroma is intense, distinctive, and yet elegant. One detects salted almonds, sea spray, sea breeze, iodine notes, meat broth, soy sauce, and a hint of apple peel, peach pit, banana peel, green banana, and dried pastries.

Palate

Its razor-sharp attack delights the tongue, revealing salted lemon, delicate apple fruit, and beguiling spice right from the start. It’s somewhat similar to a super-fine white Manzanilla sherry and loves pairing with salty, umami cuisine. A true discovery; definitely worth trying!
