Benjamin Laroche IGP Comte Tolosan 2021
About the wine
This southern French stunner has saved Ben's 'lardon' more than once...
-
After Ben’s Chablis vineyards were devastated by frosts for the second time in 4 years, he was left thinking ‘here we go again’.
-
The first time this happened, in 2017, Ben got in touch with a mate of his making top-class, artisan wines in the southern French appellation of Comte Tolosan. He cut Ben a special deal on a parcel of this elegant and refreshing white, to help make up the shortfall in Ben’s winery. Angels backed it to the hilt, promptly fell in love, and have been asking for more ever since.
-
This delicious blend of Colombard and Ugni Blanc has all the qualities of a high-end Chablis... even if it's not. Its enticing aromas of lime and lychee are mixed with a subtle hint of white pepper. And it’s juicy and rich in the mouth, with a crunchy, refreshing finish like biting into a ripe red apple.
