MEMOIRE D'AUTOMNES (Domaine la Tour Vieille)

PLANTING DATE: N/A.

LOCATION: MÉMOIRE D'AUTOMNES is a dry white wine that has undergone a long oxidative aging process in oak barrels, similar to the Vin Jaune from Jura. Its production dates back to a distant era when winemakers only produced sweet wines. They used to set aside a portion of the fermenting must intended for sweet wine, allowing it to finish its fermentation so they could have a dry white table wine available year-round.

TERROIR :

• Origin: Paleozoic era, CAMBRIAN period.
  
  
• Composition: sedimentary shift compared to Collioure. Predominance of pelites (marine/lacustrine sediments) and absence of volcanic materials.

"I absolutely adore wines aged under flor, and Mémoire d'Automnes completely captivated me: aromas of candied citrus zest (mandarin & orange), notes of raisin with a hint of walnut, and a silky, luscious texture on the palate. Simply superb!"
