DOMAINE ROQUE SESTIERE – 8, rue des Etangs. 1200 Luc sur Orbieu
A bit
unusual for Corbières, this vine-yard concentrates on white wine. They have three
different cuvee of white, one red and one rose – all of them are AOP Corbières.
A favorite since many years is the white cuvée Vielles Vignes that goes very
well with more elaborate fish dishes. We have howver not tasted the prestige
white Gouttes d’Or that is made from 50/50 of Roussanne and Grenache Blanc. Friends
of us has however praised it and it has to live up to that for a prize of 14
euros, which is quite a lot for a white wine from the region. Do not
misunderstand, the white wines are
mostly superb – fruity and pleasant, but they are generally not of the kind
that you can save for more than a couple of years.
