Memo, 2025

Salty, citrusy and savoury, with a little grip from a white left on its skins like a red.

Laurent Roger and Melissa Ingrand took over Laurent's family vines in Rivesaltes in 2017, after Laurent's years at the Paris wine bar Le Verre Volé and time working alongside Alain Castex. Memo is old-vine Macabeu, named for Laurent's grandfather, and left on its skins for about a week, so it pours deeper than most whites and carries a little texture. It is saline and energetic, with citrus, quince, straw and a touch of beeswax, and finishes savoury. Organic farming, native yeasts, nothing added.
