Languedoc Clos Marie Manon Christophe Peyrus et Françoise Julien 2012

The wine

Manon is one the Languedoc’s finest white wines. A blend of seven grape varieties, it is very precise and beautifully balanced. The nose offers up intense aromas of white flower and citrus, and the palate is very pleasant with a long finish. The grapes are cultivated on clay and limestone soils and in line with organic and biodynamic principles. In the winery, they are partially de-stemmed and macerated for a long period, with punch-down. The wine is then aged in barriques.

About the Producer Clos Marie

Le Clos Marie is without doubt the Pic Saint-Loup's most beautiful domain, and among the most sought-after by switched-on connoisseurs. From their twenty or so hectares of vines, Christophe Peyrus and his wife Françoise Julien have achieved miracles since 1995. Their vines are biodynamically cultivated, with long, careful élevages. Each of their cuvées is very expressive, reflecting the full diversity of its terroir with its own highly individual style. The star of this already remarkable domain continues to rise. Definitely one to watch! Read more
