In this cuvée, Marsanne and Roussanne add further complexity to a Chardonnay grown on the lacustrine limestone terroir of the Terrasses du Larzac. Vineyards, nurtured with the utmost care, vine by vine, are tended exclusively by hand and produce very low yields, about 20 hl per hectare, of ripe and concentrated berries. Each variety is harvested and vinified separately, grapes are pressed immediately, and juices are fermented in second-hand barrels purchased in Burgundy. The fermentation process involves only natural yeasts and is followed by a twelve-month ageing period on the lees.
This haute couture vinification produces an expressive cuvée, where floral, white fruit, citrus, and fresh herb scents intertwine. A full-bodied, almost smooth palate is offset by an invigorating acidity, producing a well-balanced wine. A saline nuance and a hint of bitterness mark the finish of this excellent Languedoc wine, which will enhance both fish and white meat dishes.
