Domaine Isabel Ferrando 'Stella Ducit' Blanc 2023

"It was a time of apprenticeship, under the benevolent and demanding eye of Henri Bonneau, my « master ». The work on the vineyard was progressive, from the slow taming of the vines and the place, to the translation of the Saint Prefert, Colombis and F601 terroirs into large parcel-based cuvées. Inspired by the tradition of Burgundy’s « climats », I first produced three cuvées from the Saint Prefert terroirs from 2003 to 2019: Classique, Réserve Auguste FAVIER and Collection Charles GIRAUD. Then, the Grand vin du terroir de Saint Prefert was created in 2020, the ultimate result of 20 years of work…"

The mouth is greedy and lively, with notes of citrus and gentian. A fatty veil patinates the middle of the mouth. The finish of Stélla Ducit leaves a pleasant note of fennel seeds and makes this wine an immediate and Mediterranean pleasure.
