2022 Plaisance Penavayre Bouysselet VDF Blanc

Bouysselet is a rare local white variety revived by Château La Colombière from pre-phylloxera vines. Endemic to Villaudric and cultivated on just a few hectares worldwide, its lineage derives from Savagnin (Jura) and Plant de Cauzette (Béarn). The vines are nurtured in clay-limestone soils enriched with rounded gravels and cobbles from alluvial deposits of the Tarn river at 220 m altitude. This 100% Bouysselet cuvée highlights the successful renaissance of a historically forgotten grape through careful attention to vineyard and terroir details.
