Voltor 2023 Vin Jaune This is a white made

This is a white made in that spirit

and velvety tannins that sit like soft flannel rather than a stiff suit

and the wine is fermented with its own yeasts and raised without fining

giving this bottling both immediacy and length

Voltor 2023 Vin Jaune This is a white madeVoltor is the Catalan word for vulture, which suits a wine carrying this much presence. Jessica Albero and Laurent Pujol make it on skins, drawing tannin and grip out of white grapes grown across seven hectares between Vingrau and Paziols. Their white plantings run to Macabeu and two kinds of Muscat, which in the Roussillon gives an aromatic starting point that maceration then roughens up considerably. Expect dried apricot, orange peel and a tea leaf
