Corbières: Domaine Py '3ème Cuvée' Blanc 2019
Free next day delivery when you spend £125
This characterful organic white Corbières wine, a blend of Grenache Blanc, Vermentino and Roussanne, is fermented on its lees to impart as much flavour as possible. It has a pale straw colour, appealing wild flower and herb scents, and a lovely, rich orchard fruit palate underscored by deftly-integrated oak.
Tasting Notes
Jean-Pierre Py produces a modicum of rare white Corbières alongside the red which the 'appellation' is more commonly associated with. We would happily drink this lovely, mid-weight wine as an aperitif, but it will stand up well to seafood, salads and soufflés. Certified organic.

Domaine Py (Jean-Pierre Py)
Based in the viticultural heartland between Carcassonne and Narbonne in the commune of Douzens, Jean-Pierre Py is a forward-thinking wine maker who quit the local Cave Co-opérative in 2003 to pursue his dream and make his own wine. In 2008 he put all his vine holdings under organic conversion and his entire output was certified as organic in 2011.
