Blanc

2008 Banyuls White Grenache, Grey Grenache, Muscat

Domaine Du Traginer Blanc is a delightful blend that showcases the vibrant character of Banyuls. This wine is crafted from a harmonious union of White Grenache, Grey Grenache, and Muscat, resulting in a wine that is elegantly refreshing and expressive. With its pale hue and captivating aromas, it invites you to experience notes of stone fruit, floral undertones, and a hint of spice. The body is medium, providing a satisfying mouthfeel, while the acidity dances lively without overpowering the palate, making it beautifully balanced. The fruit intensity is pronounced, allowing the vibrant flavors to shine through, complemented by subtle nuances of minerality. This is a dry wine that offers a clean finish, perfect for pairing with seafood, light salads, or enjoying on its own.

Region:


Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc-Roussillon

France's oldest and largest winemaking region, the Languedoc-Roussillon stretches around the sun-kissed Mediterranean from Roussillon to Provence. Taking in everything from rugged mountain slopes to breezy coastline, this vast region features various climates and terroirs. Outside of its famous AOCs like Minervois, Corbières and Saint-Chinian, many Languedoc wines are made in the less restrictive IGP classification, in particular the Pays d'Oc. There are many wine styles made in Languedoc, but full-bodied reds blending Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Mourvèdre and Cinsault are the most common. For summer drinking, look to its fruity rosé, rounded Chardonnay and zingy Picpoul. You will often find grape varieties stated on the label of Languedoc's IGP wines, an uncommon practice in much of France.
