To understand the heterogeneity of French French white wines To understand the heterogeneity of French white wines, it's enough to go from a south-western wine like a Côtes-de-Gascogne to an Alsatian wine like a Gewurztraminer. It's also clear that <anchor>organic white wines</anchor> but also biodynamic white wines deliver different aromas from traditional white wines, being purer, better structured, less alcohol-driven and more fruit-driven. Barrel ageing brings a touch of woodiness, which can be transformed into delicious toasted, toasted or brioche flavors.

# Organic white wine: wine at its best

## The return to a consumption closer to nature

Organic white wine

In recent years, we've seen a massive shift towards more sensible, environmentally-friendly consumption: consume yes, but consume better. It's with this same logic in mind that organic wines, and biodynamic wines too, have taken an increasingly important place in the hearts of lovers of good white wine.

In France, like all other organic products, the AB label is used to clearly identify an organic white wine.

A wine with the AB label is thus a wine produced by organic farming, in compliance with strict specifications. Winegrowers are subject to various controls to ensure that the rules are properly applied. Whether white, red, rosé or even orange, an organic wine must come from AB-certified vineyards. Inputs are severely limited, while chemical fertilizers and synthetic pesticides are totally absent.

Buying an organic wine means you can be sure you're dealing with committed winemakers who are committed to respecting nature and the environment, but also to rediscovering the true taste of wine. Eith greater respect for the plant (the grape) and nature (the flora and fauna) that surrounds it, we obtain a wine with more character, more balance, that communicates its terroir and origins, without artifice.

This is particularly true of Grand Vin blanc du Château l'Hospitalet an exceptional organic wine from a unique terroir, located on limestone soil a few hundred meters from the Mediterranean Sea, delivering mineral and saline flavors of great finesse.

An organic (or biodynamic) wine, therefore, brings together notions of ideology and awareness of the world around us, but also notions of simplicity, for a return to a life closer to nature. Tasting an organic wine is all this at once!

## Organic white wine: with or without added sulfites?

Organic white wine without sulfites 

Here's a question regularly asked by neophyte oenophiles: does an organic wine necessarily have no added sulfites? The answer is: no, not all the time!

Sulfites, which are simply sulfur dioxide, are naturally present in small quantities in wine. However, the addition of sulfites during the winemaking phase makes the wine more resistant, preventing it from being degraded by oxygen, and preventing it from turning to vinegar!

Organic wine therefore inevitably contains sulfites, albeit in small quantities. The winemaker then decides whether to vinify it with or without the addition of sulfites. Nevertheless, in all cases, a white wine with the AB organic label and added sulfites will contain around half as much sulfite as a traditional white wine. There are, of course, organic white wines with no added sulfites, such as Cuvée Prima Nature an organic white wine that also has the Vegan label, offering the purest tasting experience.

## The taste of organic !

Opening a bottle of organic wine, whether white, red or rosé, brings an extra dose of pleasure. Indeed, tasting the best organic white wines offers clean, fresh and straightforward flavors. The absence of tannic structure in a white wine, unlike a red wine, adds an extra touch of lightness. Like rosé, organic white wine is easy to drink, and an excellent choice to accompany an aperitif, start a meal with a salad, or enhance a delicate dish.

The aromas and flavors of an organic wine are most often associated with the plant world, whether floral aromas (anise, laurel, hawthorn, violet, vanilla, etc.), or fruit flavors (white-fleshed fruit, citrus, exotic fruit, etc.). Organic white wines also offer a fine dose of gourmandise. Tasting the best white wines is very often associated, to our delight, with delicacies such as candied, toasted, grilled or brioche flavors...

A good example of an organic white wine of astonishing quality and intensity is the bottle Aigle Royal from Domaine de l'Aigle, a wine from Languedoc-Roussillon (AOP Limoux) with AB and Demeter labels, produced from a noble grape variety, Chardonnay, grown on a vineyard plot at an altitude of 500 meters.
