Lâchez Les Fauves - Coup de Gueule Blanc
IGP Pays d'Oc
The national media, including "Le Monde", dubbed Jean Vialade, the charismatic leader of the Occitan movement and promoter of organic winegrowing in the mid-1970s, "The Lion of the Corbières". The iconic brand, encompassing three wines for pleasure, conveys a very symbolic message - "Lachez Les Fauves or "Unleashing the Beast". Launched in June 2020, its success outmanoeuvred lockdown. Coup de Gueule delivers powerful aromatics framed by citrus fruits creating a lasting impression such is its freshness.
Sauvignon Grenache blanc
8-10°C
Clay-limestone soils.
The vines are trained using the Guyot system. The canopy is large and guarantees the grapes ripen well and develop quality aromatics.
The grapes are harvested by night to preserve the freshness of the fruit, then go direct-to-press in a pneumatic press. Only the first juice is kept and is fermented at low temperatures (18°C) over a short period (7 days). After alcoholic fermentation, the wine is stored in stainless steel tanks with a good level of carbon dioxide for 4 to 6 months.
The Coup de Gueule sits very well alongside seafood such as razor or wedge clams, but also with more elaborate dishes such as turkey stuffed with apples or samphire. It can also be served with cheeses such as Pélardon or Rocamadour.
Aromas of lemon and pink grapefruit. The palate is lively but well-balanced and gratifying. This is a fresh, punchy white wine.
