Description

  • French oak
  • Pear & quince
  • Vanilla
  • Roud & supple

"It's gently lifted on the nose with ripe peach, rockmelon and red apple characters with a touch of oatmeal complexity. The palate is smooth and supple with elegant weight and fine texture, finishing mellow and friendly" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2022

"Aromas of white peaches and apples, some fresh citrus then vanilla spice from gently smoky wood. Crisp, and firm as the wine touches the palate then relaxes to show a light satin texture. Flavours of stone fruits and citrus lead to some wood flavours youthful textures. Well made and balanced, ready to drink from 2023 through 2026+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Dec 2022

The exotic aromas and roundness of this grape variety are known and appreciated over the world. Straw gold yellow. Fine and elegant nose mixing white fruit aromas (pear, quince) with vanilla notes. Fruit driven on the palate, the attack is fresh, followed by a round and supple texture. Flattering oaky notes appear on the aftertaste.

A wide variety of soils such as sand, clay, chalk, schist, gravel and pebbles. Selection of vines located in the coolest areas of the Languedoc region near Limoux (wide temperature range between cool nights and warm days) and in the Gard region where the weather is warmer. The wine combines the strength and the freshness of the Limoux terroir with the elegance and creaminess of the Gard terroir.

Night and morning harvest. Gentle crushing of the grapes – short maceration on the skin (between 6 and 12 hours) in order to get aromatic complexity – light pressing – Pre-fermenting oxygenation of one part of the Chardonnay to keep freshness – controlled Alcoholic fermentation in vats (18-20°C / 65-68°F).

Food Pairing: White meat, poultry, salads and pasta.
