Description
Located in the heart of the Luberon, the Strasser family’s Domaine de la Pousterle stands as a testament to the potential of Provence’s high-altitude viticulture. Their 15-hectare estate, planted in a single, continuous plot surrounding the village of Ansouis, benefits from unique clay-limestone soils and the cooling influence of the surrounding hills.
The 2023 'Terroir d'Ansouis' Blanc is a quintessential expression of this site, primarily led by Roussanne, which provides the wine with its structural backbone and luxurious texture. This is blended with Grenache Blanc and Vermentino (Rolle) to introduce vibrant aromatic complexity. On the nose, the 2023 offers a precise bouquet of white peach, citrus zest, and green apple, underpinned by delicate floral notes and a distinct saline minerality.
On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing, balancing immediate, fruit-forward charm with a sophisticated, mineral-driven tension. It is a wine of striking poise, possessing the depth to pair beautifully with roasted poultry or Mediterranean seafood, while retaining the purity and verve that make it an outstanding choice for mid-week dining. This release reaffirms the estate’s reputation for producing white wines of remarkable clarity and regional character.
