La Perle Rare
This wine was an accident. In 2009 I made a barrel of grenache gris that was far too oaky and so I left it in the corner of the winery and forgot about it. Four years later the wine had transformed into a complex, slightly oxidised wine which I adored and bottled. To maintain consistency in the style I now have three barrels in the winery and bottle a third of each barrel every year thus making just 300 bottles. La Perle Rare blanc is a mix of vintages and is labeled as non-vintage.
