A few months ago, we entered our Eclipse Blanche cuvée in the Decanter World Wine Awards, one of the world’s most influential wine competitions. Decanter, the competition organizer, is itself one of the leading international wine media.
243 prestigious judges tasted Eclipse Blanche, including 20 Master Sommeliers and 61 Masters of Wine, alongside 18,000 other wines from 57 countries.
It scored a remarkable 91/100. This places it in the category of “high quality wines, with allure and personality”, according to Decanter Awards’ ranking.
ORIGINALITY AND AUDACITY STAND OUT AT DECANTER AWARDS
We’re particularly proud of Eclipse Blanche’s result at Decanter Awards. Indeed, this cuvée is the fruit of real risk-taking and craftsmanship on the part of our winemakers.
Clodéric Prade carefully and passionately cultivated the Grenache noir from which this wine is made. Nicolas Perrault then vinified it with the utmost precision in his Burgundy cellars. The result is an intense, fresh white wine with an unmistakable style. Its coppery hue and fine bitter finish immediately win us over.
The Decanter Awards judges describe it thus. “A rich, fragrant nose of old roses, guava, pear and peach, and a creamy, textured palate”.
We’re delighted to have been able to prove that a wine off the beaten track can stand out in a major official and international competition such as the Decanter Awards. A “Vin de France” (generic wine) therefore has the capacity to match, even surpass, some of the greatest appellations.
