How to serve it
Tasting notes
Pale lemon in the glass. The nose is openly fruited, with peach, pink grapefruit, banana and mango over a light herbal note. The palate is well balanced, the fruit generous but held by clean acidity, and the finish carries a fine, understated touch of oak.
About this wine
La Poule Blanche belongs to Sacha Lichine's Vins Sans Frontières range, wines that put French cellar practice behind a deliberately modern style. The fruit is given a period of skin contact before pressing, which draws out aroma without adding weight.
Fermentation is slow and cool, at 14 to 15 °C, to keep the varietal character intact, and around a fifth of the wine is then matured in oak to add body and a little texture. The two parts are blended back together before bottling.
