As with the famous Mas de Daumas red, this top-drawer Languedoc white combines an eclectic range of 20 grape varieties. Viognier, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Petit Manseng are the main stars, but the other 16 are a mind-boggling collection of deliciousness. Totally awe-inspiring, each of them vinified separately and the wine assembled early in the year after the vintage. Two themes run through this wine – the first is one of intense aromatics, with concentration and rich fruit on the palate. The second revolves around a lovely freshness, giving the wine great backbone and precision. With a little time, these come together. As a young wine, it delivers intense, exotic fruit, with superb minerality. With age, it takes on more biscuity tones.

"Aromas of apricot, honeysuckle, stewed pear, cooked lemon and herbs. Exotic layers. Long and opulent" James Suckling
