Domaine Pouderoux IGP Côtes Catalanes Blanc Torrents 2022
A wine experience from the southern French slopes
Unique Terroir and History
Domaine Pouderoux presents a white wine that reflects the terroir of the area in a rare and honest way. The grapes for this wine come from the Força Réal peak, specifically the Els Torrents site. Here, the vines grow on rolled pebbles with clay and limestone soil on the south-facing slopes, which benefit from the heat of the sun and the cooling effect of the wind from the Roussillon plain. The area is surrounded by natural scrub vegetation with almond trees, kermes oak, cistus and broom, which contributes to the wine's characteristic profile.
Grapes and Vinification
The main role in this wine is played by Muscat of Alexandria , a grape variety known for its aromatic qualities. Vinification is characterized by care and tradition:
- Whole cluster fermentation with natural yeast, which preserves the original character of the grapes.
- A seven-day skin maceration in concrete vats that gives structure and complexity.
- Subsequent short aging on fine lees, which emphasizes the wine's texture and finesse.
Colour, Smell and Taste
The wine appears golden in the glass and shines with elegance. The scent is intense and inviting, with notes of:
- Exotic fruits such as mango and pineapple.
- White peach that adds a touch of sweetness.
The taste is lively and complex , with a pleasant bitterness that balances the fruitiness. It ends with a long and persistent finish that makes the wine unforgettable.

- Aperitif : Serve chilled as a refreshing start to the meal.
