Wine Description:
Chateau Mourgues du Gres Terre d'Argence Blanc is a distinguished wine hailing from the Terre d’Argence terroir, nestled between the Rhône and Camargue regions. Once belonging to the Bishopric of Arles from the 11th to the 19th century, its ties to Provence span a millennium. The name alludes to the silvery reflections of alder and olive leaves shimmering in the Mistral wind, embodying the wine's opulence. This IGP Pont du Gard classification allows for inventive blending, marrying the Rhône grape Viognier with the Southwestern grape Petit Manseng, hence the IGP "Pont du Gard" designation. The ancient Roman aqueduct nearby symbolizes the domain's crossroads richness. Benefiting from the Mediterranean's summer breeze, the wine achieves a balanced profile and a diverse aromatic palette. Crafted from old vines of Petit Manseng and Viognier, with a touch of Vermentino, the vines maintain low yields . In the cellar, minimal sulfite use ensures the wine's purity and vibrant fruit expression, making it a testament to the richness of its historic terroir.

Wine Expert Note:

Chateau Mourgues du Gres Terre d'Argence Blanc offers an enticing sensory journey. The nose reveals a bouquet of delicate floral notes, with hints of honeysuckle and white blossoms, intertwined with citrus zest and a subtle minerality. On the palate, this white blend unfolds with finesse. Crisp orchard fruits, such as pear and green apple, dance with tropical nuances of pineapple, all supported by a refreshing acidity. The wine's complexity is further enhanced by a touch of herbal undertones. Pairing seamlessly with seafood dishes, particularly grilled prawns or a citrus-infused ceviche, the Terre d'Argence Blanc finishes with a lingering, vibrant elegance. For those who appreciate a more evolved character, a few years of cellaring can enhance its richness, allowing the flavors to harmonize and mature gracefully.
