Domaine Le Roc
Le Bouysselet Blanc Fronton White Blend
2023 vintage. A whole different wine compared to the 2024 Plaisance. As in this case the Bouysselet was grafted on Merlot vines, the young vine effect doesn't play a role. Yellow, light golden colour. Intense nose with apricot,flowers, beeswax and toast. In the mouth it is powerful,with concentrated stone fruit ( apricots, peaches, prunes), subtle almond bitters, fresh acidity, and a slightly honeyed long finish. Unlike the Plaisance, this is very unique, maybe closer to Timorasso than Chenin Blanc. Producers are aiming for a Fronton Blanc Bouysselet appellation these days, which would be great for the better producers in this underestimated region. Abv. 14%. — 10 days ago

2024 vintage. The first time I tasted this very rare grape variety, it was saved from extinction by Philippe and Diane Cauvin at Domaine La Colombière. These days a few estates produce Bouysselet wines, and intriguingly Château Anthonic in Moulis, grafted Bouysselet on Merlot vines, with the first production expected in 2025. I suspect this is produced from young vines, but the resulting wine is very interesting. The closest thing that comes to mind is Chenin Blanc, but it seems to have a character of its own. I will taste a few others soon. Abv. 13,5%. — 12 days ago
