Minervois Blanc
Minervois Blanc is a white wine produced in the Minervois territory of western Languedoc in southern France. Most Minervois wine is red, due to the warm climate, but the whites are becoming more popular, thanks to better farming and winemaking.
Varieties include Vermentino, Roussanne, Marsanne and Grenache Blanc. These are dry whites, medium to medium-full on the palate, often with aromas of apricots and mango (dues to the inclusion of Roussanne). The wines are somewhat exotic and are best paired with local cheeses. Minervois Blanc wines are rarely seen outside the territory. Enjoy these whites wines in their youth, from two to three years after the vintage; serve with sheep's cheeses or shellfish.
