Maison Padié ‘10+10=22’ White is an expression of the French wine region of Roussillon with a mineral and Mediterranean soul. This Domaine, located in the municipality of Calce, north of the Pyrenees, is managed through organic and biodynamic farming by Jean-Philippe Padié, a vigneron who aims to give voice to the terroir of the Vallée de l’Agly.
The ‘10+10=22’ White from Maison Padié is made from a blend of Grenache Blanc (50%), Macabeu (40%), and Grenache Gris (10%), cultivated according to the principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture. The first variety is grown on clay-limestone soils rich in marl, the second on marl and schist soils, and Grenache Gris on limestone marls. After manual harvesting, the different grapes are vinified separately, with the bunches undergoing a soft pressing followed by spontaneous alcoholic fermentation of the musts. The resulting maturation period lasts for 8 months and takes place on fine lees in used wooden barrels for Grenache Blanc and the Grenache Gris and in cement tanks for the Macabeu, with complete malolactic fermentation. The masses are finally blended before bottling.
The ‘10+10=22’ Blanc from winemaker Jean-Philippe Padié of Maison Padié expresses a bright straw-yellow color. Rich and fragrant, the aromatic bouquet is defined by scents of yellow-fleshed fruit, citrus, exotic fruit, and white flowers that merge with intense mineral bursts. On the palate, it emerges with complexity and harmony, with a pleasant freshness and a powerful saline mineral signature that defines the long and engaging finale.
