Maccabeu By Jeff Carrel

Maccabeu

The idea is for the wine to continue to mature on the lees in the bottle, creating extra complexity and giving added pleasure to wine amateurs tasting a maturing wine, one that is alive!

"Wine to be shaken before tasting... (to awaken the lees)!"

[youtube]

Grape varieties

100 % Maccabeu

Origin

France

Nuance, aroma & taste

Light yellow, slightly cloudy (lees in movement).

Elegant, hints of lemon, with a touch of Williams pear and a point of fermentation.

Round, fresh, crispy with an acidity totally integrated and a light pearly effect to give the wine a certain tonicity. Marked by a bitterness associated with the chenin variety (chippings of grapefruit) with notes of peppers and spices.

Pairing

Perfect for aperatifs and/or tapas

Recommendations

Serve: 10-12°C
Aging potential : will never budge…!
