Description
A pale colour with a straw-coloured hue. Menton lemon offers an exuberant nose, accompanied by fresh pineapple, Belle Hélène pear and a touch of Bourbon vanilla. And we can go even further, evoking a palate which is unctuous without being overbearing, stimulating without bitterness and generous in length without heaviness. A hint of cardamom on the finishing note. Food matching: Bresse Capon with morel mushrooms, Epoisse cheese.

A very unusual blend of 12 gris and rosé varieties: Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Sauvignon Gris, Muscat à Petits Grains Rose, Piquepoul Gris, Savagnin Rose, Clairette Rose, Trousseau Gris, Grolleau Gris, Mauzac Rose, Riveyrenc Gris, Grenache Gris.
Grown on blue and red schist.
Left on fine lees for six months.
Aromas of grapefruit peel and almond flour. Wonderful texture – not unlike almond flour! Layers of white peach and nectarine fruit with straw and honey and dried lavender. Crackling-paper texture. Bit of saffron spice giving breadth and savouriness. Complex and strikingly unusual, a wonderful wild child of a wine.
This is exactly what the Languedoc is all about
