L&B Jousset Exile Blanc VDF 750ml
WINE EXPERTS
“Complex on the nose, with notes of citrus and white pepper. Delicately
acidic on the palate, round and persistent, with a citrus finish.
A very good wine to experiment with, especially since it incorporates
less common grape varieties.”
WINEMAKER'S TASTING NOTES
“Exile Blanc” is a special blend from the biodynamic Tangui
estate in Gascony. It’s made up of 50% Chenin Blanc
and 50% Colombard grapes, but the exact blend varies each year.
The Chenin Blanc grapes are sourced from an organic producer
in Anjou and are over 40 years old. Each grape variety is vinified
separately to bring out their unique characteristics. The wine has
a medium lemon color with aromas of stone fruits, citrus, and a
distinct lees character. On the palate, there are flavors of apple and
pear with hints of citrus. The medium finish showcases the fruit
and mineral notes, as well as a subtle yeasty character. This is a
truly unique wine that’s not to be missed.

TASTE WINE
Look, Smell, Taste and Conclude
VISUAL
You can tell the age of the wine by the color in the glass, also if you look at the legs of the wine you can determine quality aspects
SMELL
When you first start smelling wine, think big to small. Are there fruits? Think of broad categories first, i.e. citrus, orchard, or tropical fruits in whites or, when tasting reds, red fruits, blue fruits, or black fruits. Getting too specific or looking for one particular note can lead to frustration
The Grape
The grape variety is very important to understand a wine.
Grape varieties are considered the most important factor in differentiating a wine
IN YOUR TONGUE
You will be able to perceive that the flavor runs throughout the mouth. You will notice how it runs along the sides, which indicates that it is a quality wine due to its structure.
