The wine
Le Lointain, the name of this wine, is an ode to the falcon’s flight which Charles d’Arcussia, Lord of Esparron, the village where this domain is located, wrote a book about in 1598. The falcon climbs to a high altitude to spot its pray before diving to the ground to attack it.
This cuvée is a blend mainly made from Ugni Blanc with a little Chardonnay. Both grape varieties were grown in a plot less than a hectare in size on limestone-clay soil at an altitude of 460 metres. The vines are well-cared for with no chemical substances, an approach which continues in the cellar where only the smallest amount of sulphur is tolerated. The hand-harvested grapes are pressed straight away in whole bunches, and then the juice is vinified in 350 litre oak casks. It matures for 20 months on its lees, producing a pale wine that shimmers slightly green with a delicate floral nose emphasised by a hint of smokiness. Refreshing, a great deal of elegance flows through the cuvée before a citrus fruit finish takes its place.
