Golden and warm, with a slight amber tint from brief skin contact.White nectarine, honeysuckle, almond skin, a fine thread of chalk.Round. Generous. Grounded.THE STORYLa Source means "the spring" — the origin, the beginning. It is the fullest wine in the Racines Rebelles range, and the only one built around Pinot Blanc. Where the Elbling wines are lean and mineral, La Source offers texture: three days of skin contact on 70% of the blend adds body and warmth without adding weight. The result is a wine that opens up slowly in the glass, revealing layers that the other wines don't have. Forty-year-old vines on clay over limestone, spontaneous fermentation in large old oak barrels, 12 months sur lie.
