The grapes for this wine come from three terroirs: the upper Aude valley which gives the wine its mineral notes and lovely structure, the Autan terroir which lends floral aromas and notes of dried fruit and a Mediterranean-influenced terroir which brings notes of ripe fruit.The grapes are handpicked and the whole grapes are pressed. Aging: The wine is aged on the natural lees in new oak barrels for eight months. It is stirred regularly over a two-month period. Serve at 10°-12°C with fish cooked in sauce, seafood, creamed mushrooms, cheese tart, roasted poultry and goat’s cheeses. . A fine, subtle, fruity nose (apricot, citrus, preserved lemon) with white flower aromas of nettle and jasmine. Notes of meringue and marzipan. Lovely, refreshing, long, mineral structure. Very well-balanced. This wine boasts remarkable length and lovely freshness.
