Coteaux du Languedoc Peyre Rose Oro Marlène Soria 2002

The wine

Oro is the only white cuvée of the domain. It is unusual in that it is aged for nearly 10 years, in vats and bottles. Finely oxidised, with lovely notes of hazelnuts, this white wine has a floral, slightly mineral nose. A very stylish wine, try it at all costs!

About the Producer Peyre Rose

Domaine Peyre Rose was created in the early 1990s by Marlène Soria, on the slopes of Saint-Pargoire between Béziers and Montpellier. The 25-hectare domain is planted mainly with red grapes (70% Syrah, then Grenache Noir, Mourvèdre and Carignan), with two hectares of white (50% Rolle, 40% Roussanne, and various other varieties including Viognier). The domain is certified for organic cultivation, and produces characteristic wines with great concentration and a very long élevage (and an additional bottle ageing before sale). The production is high in quality but limited in quantity, and therefore highly sought after by connoisseurs!
