Wolf's Tooth

Grape variety(ies): White Grenache

Soil: Clay-limestone soil 

Serving temperature / Cellaring: Best enjoyed now at 7–8°C 

Our tasting notes: A wine with a pale, brilliant yellow colour and subtle green highlights. The nose is fresh and highly aromatic, with crystalline notes of citrus, garrigue herbs (thyme, rosemary) and noble wood (acacia). The palate is rich and generous, with a smooth, aniseed-like development. The aromatic finish is prolonged by a touch of minerality.

Food and wine pairing suggestions: Perfect with mature cheeses, roast poultry or roast veal, this wine pairs very well with all your fish and seafood dishes in general.

A popular proverb says that ‘to live in Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, you need a donkey’s back, a wolf’s teeth and a dog’s legs’, and goes on to say, ‘we have enough to eat what we have, and if anyone wants to come, let them break their legs on the way’. This saying has its roots in the poverty and frugality of the monastic diet of yesteryear in these arid regions. It was another way of saying that visitors were not really welcome because they were costly, but above all that day-to-day survival was by no means easy and required special skills!
