Clos Saint Sebastien - Inspiration Minérale Blanc | AOP Collioure
White wine | France, ROUSSILLON | 2023
A complex, subtle, iodised nose with hints
of sorrel and camomile. The palate is golden and beautifully
taut, combining elegant aromas of mirabelle plum
and aromatic herbs with a long, saline, iodised finish that
is pure and well-crafted.

About Clos Saint Sebastien
A rather "young" domain, founded in 2007 by 2 passionate wine lovers: Jacques Pirou, a man of character from the shipping industry and Romuald Peronne, the grandson of Rousillon wine growers.
The idyllic domain in Banyuls-sur-Mer was also certified in 2020 with a" Level 3 High Environmental" certificate. They owe this to their long-standing commitment to biodiversity, fertility management and ecological irrigation.
