Languedoc
Bright and gleaming with pale gold highlights. Aromas of white flowers, aniseed and mint are the hallmark of this wine, with a touch of citrus and a hint of honey completing the aromatic palette. Frank, fresh and fruity in the mouth, with an agreeable touch of bitterness and notes of fresh almond. Beautifully balanced and perfectly representative of the Mediterranean style, this wine is just as perfect as an aperitif as at table.

Terroir
Languedoc boasts a great variety of terroirs and soil types, so we select indigenous grapes from areas where they can best express themselves. Our Grenache Blanc comes from the splendid granitic and schist soils in north-west Roussillon, while our Marsanne and Roussanne achieve optimum ripeness in the foothills of the Cévennes. A few isolated parcels of Terret Bourret here and there add a not insignificant touch of originality.
Vinification
Traditionally vinified. Settling at 6 °C for 24 hours, then fermented at 15 °C for 10 days. The fine lees are kept at the first racking, after the alcoholic fermentation. Malolactic fermentation is not practised in order to retain maximum freshness.
Ageing
The four varieties are racked and then blended before a maturing period of 3 months on fine lees.
