Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert - Val de Montferrand L'Hortus Grande Cuvée Famille Orliac 2017
The wine
This blend of Chardonnay, Viognier and Petit Manseng is produced in a marl-limestone terroir with northerly and easterly exposure. Following cold racking and eight months' élevage on fine lees (with stirring), the wine reveals a golden colour and a bouquet exuding a variety of notes of fruit, vanilla, white flowers and fresh almonds. The rounded palate is enlivened by an appealing acidity, lending it great freshness.
About the Producer L'Hortus
The Orliac family, who have owned Domaine de l'Hortus for 25 years, are here represented by Marie-Thérèse and Jean, who have gradually built a name for themselves as one of the iconic domains in this appellation. They preside over 50 hectares of vines which benefit from a northeast facing, limestone terroir. Respectful of both Nature and Man, they are meticulous in their winegrowing and making.
