Details

Chateau l'Hospitalet stands just a hundred meters from the Mediterranean Sea, overlooking it. Enjoying a semi-arid Mediterranean climate with a mild winter variant, the vineyard has exceptional climatic conditions: long sunshine hours, heat stored up during the day by the limestone and then released at night to warm the grapes, the Mediterranean Sea which tempers the effects of temperature variations, and the altitude which softens the summer heat-waves. Two types of soil contribute to the aromatic complexity, finesse and elegance of this cuv e: the marl-limestone soils at the foot of the cliff which are rich in fossils and provide water to the vines all year long despite the absence of summer rainfall; and the red Mediterranean soils formed on bluish grey compact chalk from the garrigue, resulting in rich, concentrated wines. The vines are tended using rational methods in line with the Terra Vitis approach, guaranteeing the traceability of growing practice which is checked by an independent organization.

Pale yellow gold color. Powerful and fresh nose with aromas of citrus fruits, white fleshed fruits such as pear and corner, scents of garrigue and anise, and notes of roasted hazelnuts. Great finesse and beautiful minerality on the palate. Iodine notes with hints of white pepper and flint. Very fresh finish with notes of acacia honey.
