Farmed biodynamically and harvested by hand, the 2024 vintage reflects a cool, balanced growing season that preserved freshness and aromatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"797\" data-end=\"1200\"\u003eGrapes are fermented with native yeasts—some on skins, some direct-pressed—then aged in neutral vessels (usually large foudres or demijohns). No fining, no filtration, and minimal sulfur are used. The result is a complex, low-intervention white with savory depth and vivid minerality. Expect notes of citrus, chamomile, orchard fruit, and sea spray, carried by a fine phenolic grip and electric acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THIS PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eDomaine Matassa was founded in 2003 by New Zealand-born winemaker Tom Lubbe, who has become a leading figure in France’s natural wine movement. Working from old, dry-farmed vineyards in Roussillon, Lubbe focuses on indigenous varieties, low yields, and zero-additive winemaking to express the rugged beauty of the region with honesty and precision. Matassa wines are known for their wild aromatics, fine textures, and vibrant energy—wines of place, made with purpose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Louis Dressner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52214006907169,"sku":"210000021162","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/6785\/3601\/files\/mblanc.webp?v=1768252226","url":"https:\/\/perrineswine.com\/products\/2024-matassa-blanc-vin-de-france-roussillon-france","provider":"PERRINE's WINE SHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
