Matassa Marguerite 2022
The Matassa Marguerite 2022 is a vibrant and expressive white wine from the Domaine Matassa in the Roussillon region of Southern France. Matassa, known for its biodynamic practices and natural winemaking, produces wines with purity, complexity, and a strong sense of terroir. Marguerite is typically a blend of Mediterranean varieties such as Muscat and Macabeu, crafted with minimal intervention to allow the true character of the grapes and the land to shine through.
Appearance: Pale straw yellow with a light, bright clarity, indicating its freshness and natural approach.
Aroma: The nose is aromatic and lively, with notes of white peach, apricot, and citrus zest, accompanied by floral hints of jasmine and orange blossom. There is a subtle herbal edge, with fresh notes of thyme and fennel, as well as a faint minerality, reflecting the wine’s Mediterranean origins and the influence of the schist soils.
Taste: On the palate, this wine is light to medium-bodied with vibrant acidity. Flavours of stone fruit like peach and apricot are balanced by fresh citrus and green apple. The wine has a textured mouthfeel, likely from time on lees, giving it depth and complexity. A touch of salinity and minerality from the terroir adds structure, while herbal and floral notes lift the overall freshness.
Finish: The finish is crisp and refreshing, with lingering citrus and floral notes, leaving a clean and invigorating aftertaste.
Food pairing: This wine pairs beautifully with Mediterranean cuisine, such as grilled fish, prawns, or fresh salads with citrus and herbs. It also complements goat cheese, light pasta dishes with olive oil, or simply grilled vegetables. Its vibrant acidity and complex aromas make it a versatile wine for both casual dining and refined meals.
