Laïs Blanc Mise Tardive 2022 is the most ambitious version of the Laïs Blanc cuvée from Domaine Olivier Pithon — a longer aging period (10 months, compared to 12 months for the classic cuvée) in half-wood vats and half-barrels, which adds density and complexity. A briny, taut wine of great class, capable of elevating the finest fish and shellfish. 92/100 in *La Revue du Vin de France* — “Coup de cœur.”
Domaine Olivier Pithon is one of the leading names in the Roussillon’s quality renaissance. Olivier Pithon was introduced to wine as a child by his grandfather, a winemaker in Anjou—his brother, Jo Pithon, is also a winemaker in the Coteaux du Layon. His training led him to cross paths with Stéphane Derenoncourt, who taught him the essentials: to make wines that people love, infused with all the poetry one feels in them. It was in Calce, in the Pyrénées-Orientales, that Olivier Pithon ultimately chose to settle—a region he has never left since.
The Laïs cuvée, made from vines located on the schist-rich terroir of Calce, is a blend of Maccabeu, Grenache Gris, and Grenache Blanc. The Mise Tardive version is distinguished by extended aging in half-wood vats and half-barrels, which refines the texture and enhances the wine’s aromatic depth without ever weighing it down—ripe white fruits, candied citrus, and a hint of sweet spice from the wood, resulting in a remarkable balance between power and the briny freshness characteristic of the finest Mediterranean whites.
