Dom. Faillenc Sainte Marie Corbieres Blanc

The Wine... a blend of Roussanne, Macabeu, Bourboulenc, and Clairette. There is very little white wine produced in the appellation of Corbieres and I am thrilled to have such a new flavor experience for you to try. The wine has a candy-like nose and lively citrus flavors, depth, and complexity... and a long, dry finish.

The Importer... Newsweek described Neal Rosenthal as one man resisting the globalization, homogenization, and mass production in the wine world today.

The Domaine... Faillenc Sainte Marie is a small property, eight hectares, whose vines stubbornly cling to the rocky foothills of Mont Alaric. The land is composed of inhospitable, rocky limestone terraces. As a result, yields are naturally low. The grapes are strongly marked by their environment and this powerful character shows through in the wines. Dominique Gilbert and his wife, Marie-Therese are the winemakers and do just about everything. Neal Rosenthal says, “their charming, quirky personality, sense of humor and creativity mark these wines, both in their style, names, and label art.”
