2022 Château La Négly Brise Marine Blanc

Château la Négly is located in the Languedoc, on the banks of the Étang de Pissévache on the foothills of the Massif of La Clape. Négly is owned by the Paux-Rosset family, and daughter Marion makes the wine, assisted by oenologist Claude Gros. The great diversity of soils, difference in height and location (up to ten meters from the tidal edge!), ensures a great variety in style and power, but there is one characteristic that connects all wines: great precision and a strong degree of minerality. The quality of Négly has not gone unnoticed by Parker either: he has repeatedly awarded high (up to 99 points) ratings to various wines from Négly!

The La Négly Brise Marine Blanc is a blend of the Roussanne, Bourboulenc, Clairette from old vines (+50 years) which has matured for 3 months in partly wooden cuves and a (small) part barriques of French oak. In the glass, the wine a rich, straw-yellow color. In the expressive nose you will find notes of exotic fruit, combined with almond. The attack is powerful, partly due to the wood tones, but is immediately followed by the fresh, mineral structure of the wine. A delicious, balanced elegant wine from the grand cru region of the Langeudoc - La Clape
