The wine

This cuvée is a blend of varieties typical of the Languedoc (Ugni blanc, Grenache blanc, Clairette and Rolle). It is vinified in barrels containing 401hl and 600L demi-muids then raised for 9 months in barrels. When tasting, the fruit is present, with citrus fruit aromas melding into white flower notes. On the palate, there is a certain vivacity, density and personality.

Information about domain Aupilhac

Sylvain Fadat and his wife Désirée both have an obsession with vines and terroir. They founded their domain in Montpeyroux, some thirty kilometres north-west of Montpellier, a little over twenty years ago. Their 22-hectare vineyards are planted on two very different terroirs: the south-west-facing terraces of the Aupilhac lieu-dit, and the Les Cocalières site – higher, and therefore cooler – where Syrah is so much at home, and therefore dominates. The northernmost part is home to white grapes (Roussanne, Marsanne, Grenache Blanc and Rolle). Here, both the landscape and the wines have been shaped by human hands; ploughing, manual harvesting, minimal intervention, bottling without filtration: everything possible is done to preserve the identity of the terroir as much as possible.
