Nathan is a voluminous and intensely mineral white wine with a golden color, ripe fruit and dried apricots, and a fullness from time in barrique. Its rich, powerful texture therefore handles both white meat, foie gras and shellfish, while the wine's freshness and minerality cut through the richness and keep the flavor clean. Choose dishes with corresponding intensity and preferably fried, grilled or creamy preparations, so the wine's weight is met by food with the same fullness. For cheese, medium-aged and firm types work best, where both acidity and volume have something to play against.

About the wine

Nathan Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle comes exclusively from the best grapes from one of the highest vineyards in Europe.

The grapes are 100% Prié Blanc and come from a single vineyard in Morgex with approximately 40-year-old vines, at an altitude of 900-1,200 meters.

The wine appears golden and on the nose, there are hints of ripe fruit and dried apricots.

The taste is truly voluminous, deliciously intense, and very mineral.

Very small production. A wine that must be tasted!

The harvest is done by hand in the last week of September or the first week of October.

The grapes are soaked in cold water for 48 hours before undergoing a gentle hand pressing. Fermentation takes place mostly (70%) in barriques with frequent stirring.

After 12 months, it is blended with 30% that is fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then further matured for about 10 months in the bottle.

Then fresh yet round, with lovely juicy ripe apple and yellow fruit flavours. The long finish is both energetic and creamy.
