Description

Nestled among the hills just beyond the quaint village of Jonquières in the Languedoc lies a true hidden gem of France. This estate crafts exquisite reds and a singular white, sourced from vines thriving amidst the rugged terrain of the Larzac plateau, nestled at the base of Mont Baudille. At an elevation cresting 900 meters, this represents the zenith of vine cultivation in the region.

A blend of 40% Chenin Blanc and 60% Carignan Blanc from the old vines of Pays d’Herault. Fermented and aged on lees in demi-muids for one year to produce a wine of delicacy backed by solid minerality and depth. Each variety from each terroir is fermented separately with no malolactic fermentation except for the Carignan Blanc, producing complex and vibrant wines that will keep you at your seat’s edge with every sip.

On the nose, bold stone fruit mingles with hints of tropical allure, delicately accented by subtle white florals and a touch of crisp apple. This is a truly distinctive and delectable white wine, possessing the rare quality to evolve gracefully over the next 5 to 10 years if you so desire.
